Abstract

Integrated Support System for Efficient Water Usage and Resources Management (ISS-EWATUS) is a project founded by the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme. Its main objective was to recognize and exploit an untapped potential to save water by using information and communication technology (ICT). After three years of the project life-time several tools for this purpose have been developed. In this paper we describe all these tools working together in synergy to conserve water. During the implementation of the presented tools, specific, scientific problems were faced. We explain how these problems were solved. In addition to the technical details, we make an overview of the research papers published as a result of the undertaken works.
