Water Industry – Innovation Requirements
As part of the roadmap towards the attainment of Digital Twins the water industry seems to have some of the most tangible immediate use cases. I was just reading around the innovation priorities for Yorkshire Water which seem to be very customer and environmentally centric. It is quite easy to see how Digital Twins could play a crucial role in the delivery of these priorities:
- Developing Innovation Solution to enable sustainable use of our water resources;
- Creating sustainable energy facilities by generating energy from our processes and managing demand effectively;
- Ensuring our customers are provided with the highest quality drinking water;
- Developing leading edge tools for our networks which allow real-time monitoring and control, drive down leakage or reduce the impact of sewer flooding; and
- Develop state-of-the-art tools to forecast and mitigate the future impacts that climate change will have on Yorkshire.
@Chris Jones (NWG) and @Matt Edwards how does this compare to your innovation priorities?

Hi Samuel. Interesting to see the priorities of Yorkshire. At AW we aim to anchor everything we do against our 4 core strategic goals, that includes innovation. I’ve included a copy of our Strategy on a page for interest.
