The Smart Water Networks Forum started in May 2011 as a worldwide industry forum promoting the use of data technologies in water networks, making them smarter, more efficient and more sustainable. Smart water networks are leveraging data and information technology for an improved, streamlined and more efficient operation of water utilities. With the increased instrumentation and telemetry of water networks, especially of distribution systems, a new layer of smart data applications has become possible. They include alert systems, smart flow pressure management, water infrastructure monitoring and water balance and leak detection software and many others.
Smart Water Network (SWAN) solutions improve the efficiency, longevity, and reliability of the underlying physical water network by better measuring, collecting, analyzing, and acting upon a wide range of events. SWAN brings water industry leaders together to promote awareness, effectiveness, and use of smart data systems for water networks.
The SWAN forum encourages targeted, technical discussion to:
Membership fees range from Euro 950 for individuals (students free) to Euro 4,900 for platinum members.
