Do you know how much water you use?
I am average! Do I need to change?

March 18, 2015
Do you know how much water it takes to:
We consider water as a perishable resource
Why?
Water is cheap and rightly so!
The human right to water entitles everyone to sufficient, safe, acceptable, physically acceptable and affordable water for
personal and domestic uses
The Right to Water
No pricing incentives
50% of EUs domestic
water is not metered
sporadic water bills
We have no stimuli and incentives to
change our behavior
1970s: 12-15% 2001: 73%
2.7-22% reduction in fuel consumption
26.9% increase in physical activity
Got it! So we need stimuli to change our water use
In your face grumpy cat!
In order to provide effective stimuli to consumers,
we need data
But we do not have the necessary data.
Why?
Water meters are not enough – total consumption every
few days/months
Example: someone in the car did not wear a seatbelt last
week
OK, so why not get better data from water meters?
Well…
Frequent, highly granular, accurate, non-aggregated, real-time
Water uti li ty: No thanks, I am just fine!
Public Sector: Money? Now?! ?
Consumer: Huh?
So, to provide stimuli that affects consumer behavior and leads to self-induced changes in water use, as well as
financial benefi ts for all, we must first provide better quali ty water consumption data.
But the water meters we have cannot provide the data we need. The cost to improve them and provide data wi th better
granulari ty and frequency timely provided where and when water is used, is simply too great for them, and wi th a questionable return on investment. Water uti li ties are perfectly happy wi th how they measure and bi l l water
consumption, so why change? The public sector alone cannot also handle the costs.
WWAGD?

Motivation
M o t i v a t i o n
Let’s see how we moni tor consumption for electrici ty
Smart meters wi th highly granular data, low-cost off the self moni toring devices, multiple services to convey knowledge, i ntegrated in smart homes and mobi le devices
Y1 Review Meeting
M o t i v a t i o n
How about water?
Aggregated data every few months, sing le point metering, no personal moni toring, paper bi l ls and reports, stagnant stakeholders “ i f i t ain ’t broke, don’t f ix i t ”
Y1 Review Meeting
M o t i v a t i o n
Electrici ty & Water do not mix
Y1 Review Meeting
M o t i v a t i o n
Is the smart water meter enough?
o How do I measure hot water consumption? [energy]
o How do I measure consumption at the point of use? [stimuli, types]
o Is ‘real-time’ truly real-time? [latency, detail]
o How are data transmitted to end-user interfaces? [stimuli]
o Who pays for the SWM? [shared-investments? ROI?]
Smart water meters (SWM) are complementary but not enough; they cover sing le point metering but not moni toring.
Y1 Review Meeting
M o t i v a t i o n
We don’t have detai led water consumption data, nor the means to exploi t i t
Water Demand Management is based on highly aggregated data and crude assumptions providing limi ted insights (who, when, where, why, what)
Y1 Review Meeting
Interventions and stimuli for water consumption sti l l paper-based and at best electronic versions of highly aggregated information
M o t i v a t i o n
We need the data f irst!
o Create real-time and detailed water consumption data
o Devise means to manage and extract knowledge
o Create interventions and stimuli that exploit this knowledge
o Apply new data and insights in WDM
Y1 Review Meeting
Welcome to DAIAD
The DAIAD approach
Naiads o In Greek mythology, Naiads were
nymphs that presided over fountains, wells, springs, and other bodies of freshwater
o Each Naiad protected a specific fresh water source, e.g. Limnades (for lakes) and Potameides (for rivers)
Who is DAIAD?
Data + Naiad = Daiad! o A new type of fresh water
nymph, called Daiad, which symbolizes the project’s objectives
o Daiad presides in all residential water sources, monitoring every drop of water, guiding humans towards a water saving culture, and ensuring that water is well used 10/9/2013
T h e D A I A D a p p r o a c h
Our idea
o Decouple metering from monitoring
o Consumers self-adopt low-cost water monitoring
o Harness this data and knowledge for stakeholders
o Make consumers the foundation for sustainable changes in water use
Y1 Review Meeting
Empower Consumers
T h e D A I A D a p p r o a c h
Consumer Benefi ts
o Emphasis on the shower (2nd largest energy use)
o Cost savings from water use (22%)
o Cost savings from hot water use (440 kWh/year)
o Maybe CO2 credits (work in progress)
Y1 Review Meeting
Pays itself in a few months!
T h e D A I A D a p p r o a c h
Our objectives
o Develop low cost real-time, multi-point water consumption monitoring
o Research consumer-oriented and intuitive knowledge delivery mediums
o Research and develop big data management for large scale, real-time water consumption data
o Devise and support novel resource/demand management strategies, including corresponding pricing and incentive schemes
o Perform extensive and in depth real life user trials

Inf luencing water use (determinants)
o Our resource consumption is affected by pricing and non-pricing determinants
o Pricing: obvious!
o Non-pricing: age, income, location, weather..
o Our resource consumption is also split to elastic and inelastic
o Inelastic is the absolute minimum (e.g. drink water, sanitation)
o Our goal is to enable consumers to self-induce changes in their water use!
