In a recent interview, Stefano Vincenzo De Simone, Operational Water Management Solution Area Manager at KISTERS, highlighted the critical role of data validation in the digital transformation of urban water utilities. He emphasized that while advancements in ICT have led to a surge in data generation through increased sensor deployment, ensuring the quality of this data remains a significant challenge. Without proper validation, utilities risk making poor decisions based on inaccurate information, potentially leading to operational inefficiencies and regulatory non-compliance. De Simone advocates for a balanced approach that combines automated validation tools with expert oversight to maintain data integrity and support effective water management strategies.

Energy efficiency is crucial for sustainable water management. By optimizing processes and enhancing product quality, industries can produce more water using the same amount of energy, thereby reducing their carbon footprint. Implementing energy-efficient strategies not only lowers operational costs but also contributes to a more sustainable future. For instance, in typical desalination plants, improving the efficiency of high-pressure pumps can lead to significant energy savings and reduced operational expenses. Incorporating these strategies from the design phase is essential to maximize both economic and environmental benefits throughout the plant's lifecycle.
