Smart Monitoring of Urban Wastewater

Urban wastewater management is facing growing demands for more efficient, sustainable, and data-driven monitoring. The Smart Monitoring of Urban Wastewater (SMUt) project brings together partners from Germany and the Netherlands to explore new approaches to wastewater monitoring and strengthen cross-border collaboration in the Ems-Dollart region. By connecting municipalities, water authorities and research institutions, the project creates a foundation for developing smarter and more efficient solutions for the future of urban wastewater management.

Data for All

Understanding, processing and utilising relevant data from a wide range of sources has become a central component of digital transformation in both the public and private sector. In this context, gaining insight and developing methodologies towards establishing data-driven services contributes to so-called “data sovereignty”. However, such potentials are far less exploited for municipal and regional authorities than for national and federal administrations or private businesses and industry.
