ToDrinQ - European Project
- Live
The European ToDrinQ (Towards Digital Resilient and Quality Water Services) project is supported by BlueArk as a demonstration case. Its objectives are to:
- Develop cutting-edge digital solutions for drinking water and wastewater management,
- Create and test digital twins of water networks,
- Deploy new real-time monitoring tools for water quality and quantity,
- Strengthen the resilience of water services in the face of climate hazards,
- Improve governance and citizen trust through accessible and reliable data.
The project is based on several key innovations, including:
- Smart sensors to continuously monitor
- water quality.
- Digital twins to simulate networks and anticipate
- incidents or shortages.
- Open data platforms to connect
- local authorities, operators and citizens.
- Climate scenarios and predictive models to
- guide long-term decisions.
Tests in the Val de Bagnes
ToDrinQ is being tested in several European regions, including the Val de Bagnes. The idea is to install fixed and portable sensors to detect Escherichia coli and enterococci bacteria in real time, which are key indicators of microbiological contamination in water. The Val de Bagnes is an ideal laboratory for testing innovative sensors, as it is subject to multiple pressures (tourism + agriculture + mountain environment), making it a relevant terrain for evaluating the robustness and effectiveness of new water monitoring technologies.
Who is working on this project now?
The ToDrinQ consortium brings together 24 organisations: universities, research institutes, water services, technology companies and European networks. BlueArk is an integral part of this large-scale project.
