Water Enhanced Resource Planning "Where water supply meets demand" (WatERP)

Start date: Oct 1, 2012, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

Water supply involves many actors. While many management tools exist, they cannot intercommunicate and no framework is available for integrating all of them, preventing integrated water resources management to be fully achieved. WatERP will develop a web-based Open Management Platform (OMP), integrating intelligent systems through open interfaces, to enable water supply distribution chains to be m ...
