1. Introduction

Although Eurecat, as Coordinator of WatERP, was the leader of WP8 (Dissemination and Exploitation),

since the beginning of the project (October 2012), all partners have actively participated in the

dissemination actions in order to widely spread information about WatERP activities and objectives.

In broad terms, the purpose of dissemination is to communicate the work of WatERP to stakeholders

interested in the field of research of the project. The dissemination activities have been driven by the

entire project team in order to:

Enhance the awareness about the use of water services and needs of conserving the water

resources,

Facilitate a collaboration and information exchange between relevant stakeholders (public

administrations, industries, users, researchers),

Promote the pilots’ results of the project in a commercial context and in the research

community,

Encourage new water communities to expand the knowledge acquired in the project.

WatERP team has dedicated especial care on the reporting and dissemination of the main results as

they appeared during the lifetime of the project to different target groups:

Sharing experience with relevant European stakeholders, mainly industry representatives and

manufacturers,

Presentation and publication of significant findings to the wider scientific community,

Education and raising awareness of the general public regarding ICT and water management

efficiency.

2. Dissemination objectives

A correct definition of dissemination objectives is crucial to get the expected impact of the project and

its outcomes. In this sense, the dissemination objectives are linked directly to the goals of the WatERP

project and specifically to the ones of WP8 “Dissemination & Exploitation”.

The main focus of WatERP dissemination plan is defined in the WP8 objectives:

Ref. 318603 - WatERP, D8.8_Dissemination Report on Period 3_v1.0 page 9 of 41

To transmit messages and information to potential WatERP users target groups. (For instance,

achievements, reports, experiences, recommendations). Enhance the awareness about the use

of water services and needs of conserving the water resources.

Facilitate a collaboration and information exchange between relevant stakeholders (public

administrations, industries, users, researchers).

Promote the pilots results of the project in a commercial context and in the research

community.

Encourage new water actors among the water supply distribution chain to expand the

knowledge acquired in the project.

The dissemination strategy has been specified in the consecution of WP8. The principal project

dissemination measures are joined in the following main aspects:

Project website as a way of publishing in the cloud all the information about the project, its

participants, reports and technical publications, and other relevant information.

Publications in academic, trade and professional journals, and magazines with the aim of

generating a scientific/engineering need and attention.

Collaboration in different professional dissemination events at both a Programme-level

(technical conferences, workshops, etc.) and a cluster-level (showcase demos, learning

communities, etc.).

Other relevant media like TV, press, social media, and specialized digital media.

3. Stakeholders

In order to achieve the dissemination objectives, it was crucial to identify targets such as people, groups

or organizations that could have an interest in or might be affected by the outcomes of the project. The

number of dissemination targets has varied throughout the project. Apart from the several key

stakeholders who have been almost constantly present (partners and sponsors), there have been some

others, at different levels of importance. In D8.6, the potential WatERP user target groups for

dissemination were classified in internal and external targets (section 3, deliverable D8.6):

Annex I: Contacted stakeholders shows a detailed list of stakeholders contacted during year 3. The

main activities, objectives and results were presented to 70 stakeholders. Taking into account the 35

stakeholders contacted during years 1 and 2, over 100 stakeholders have been contacted, which met

by far the expectations of the project. All these contacts helped to maximize the impact of WatERP

results. After the meetings and workshops with relevant stakeholders, they expressed their interest

Ref. 318603 - WatERP, D8.8_Dissemination Report on Period 3_v1.0 page 10 of 41

regarding the coordination improvements among water supply distribution chain actors, and important

user experiences were proposed and applied to the different developments.

During the second period, huge efforts were carried out in order to initiate contacts with standardization

bodies such as OGC and ITU. Instead, during the third period the efforts have been focused on share

the WatERP experiences with these bodies.

Several meetings through Skype have been attended by WatERP to support Federal Institute of

Hydrology (BfG), which is responsible of developing the future standard HY_FEATURES. These

teleconferences were focused on discussing the HY_FEATURES development, WatERP experiences

with HY_FEATURES, the strategy used in WatERP to be compatible with HY_FEATURES model and,

particularly, the semantic mapping implementation. Moreover, this close contact encouraged the

association of some WatERP partners as OGC member increasing its linkage with the Hydrology

Domain Working Group.

Referring the OGC contacts, the project provided its standardization experiences and know-hows

regarding OGC OWS (OGC SOS, OGC WPS, OGC WMS and OGC WFS), WaterML2.0, semantics

and ontologies in different workshop as “Interoperability Day” in Barcelona (http://www.waterp-

fp7.eu/index.php/dissemination/external-news/214-interoperability-day-in-barcelona), Hydro DWG in

Boulder (http://www.waterp-fp7.eu/index.php/dissemination/external-news/217-hydro-dwg-session-in-

boulder) and Hydro DWG in Orleans (http://www.waterp-fp7.eu/index.php/dissemination/external-

news/230-hydro-dwg-workshop-at-orleans-france). Moreover, multiples teleconferences of Hydro DWG

were attended by WatERP partners throughout the year.

4. Dissemination procedures

In order to ensure a correct dissemination of the WatERP project results, all the publications, news,

events and actions performed in the context of the project have been reported through the internal

project Redmine tool and then published in the external web page. Moreover, all WatERP related public

communications made have been notified to the Coordinator in order to maintain updated the list of

news and a complete register of dissemination and publication activities.

Dissemination material and outcomes have followed the Intellectual Property Rights (IPR)-related

procedures described in detail in the Consortium Agreement.

5. Dissemination support material

In order to better achieve the target groups, several dissemination materials have been elaborated in

the framework of the project. These materials have helped the actions taken in WP8 to enhance their

effect:

5.1 Corporate identity

In Section 6.2.1 of deliverable D8.3 (Dissemination strategy), the visual identity of the project was

defined. A logo has been designed to be used in the WatERP webpage and all project publications

such as deliverables, project presentations, factsheet, posters…

Figure 1. WatERP logo

5.2 Factsheet

These document, which offers detailed information about the project is included Deliverable 8.1:

Figure 5. WatERP posters

5.5 Video

A video was published through YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RBR-IRlU2cs) in order to

promote WatERP project between stakeholders. Mainly, the video was focused in present the benefits

of WatERP.

On the other hand, another video about WatERP project are being prepared with the aim of introducing

the results/impact of the project. It video will be available after the review through the typical video

sharing platforms such a Vimeo or YouTube and promoted through newsletters by the partners.

Moreover, it will be freely accessible to the community and the European Commission could use it to

promote the results in the future.

6.7 Traditional/online media

WatERP project has also appeared in traditional media such as press. Here below, detailed information

can be found about the appearances of the project in those media:

Retema – Revista técnica de Medio Ambiente

On June 22nd

, 201, this online magazine published a media briefing about the project and its main

results. It highlighted the fact that WatERP project was entering the final steps of its implementation

towards the accomplishment of its objectives. Detailed information can be found by accessing this link.

Ref. 318603 - WatERP, D8.8_Dissemination Report on Period 3_v1.0 page 27 of 41

6.8 Social media

Alongside with the previous means of dissemination, other online channels have been used to

disseminate information about the project, including YouTube, Slide share and Social Media like

LinkedIn and Twitter. Social media have become a far-reaching communication tool in modern society

and for this reason WatERP partners have used the most popular ones to spread the word about the

project more directly. This will help the project team to reach a wider spread with their dissemination

activities. A tweet example is presented here below which was generated on the occasion of the

ICT4Water event:

Figure 12. Figure 1 WatERP tweet

As regards LinkedIn, the participation of the following groups has been maintained during the final year

of the project:

LinkedIn Water management group

LinkedIn Water supply and sanitation Technology Platform (WssTP) group

LinkedIn Water Resource Management group

LinkedIn Smart WAter Network (SWAN) - Smart Water Networks Forum

LinkedIn Integrated Water Management

LinkedIn Water Technologies

6.9 WaterCity social network

Awareness is a key factor to promote water resources saving. This is the aim of WaterCity, a new

social network that helps consumers to reduce water consumption. So far, it is only available in

Spain.

WaterCity users can manage from their own profile the data about consumption of water contained in

bills and set targets for monthly savings. In addition, the platform allows the user to compare his/her

domestic consumption with other users with similar profiles according to different factors: number of

people living in the same home, number of appliances available and the price of water. In this way, a

motivational relation between users is established. This is a key fact to encourage savings.

The platform has been developed within the framework of the research project WatERP. Its main goal is

to create an open management platform to integrate the management of offer and demand within the

complete cycle of supplying and distribution of water.

Ref. 318603 - WatERP, D8.8_Dissemination Report on Period 3_v1.0 page 28 of 41

Different media briefings have been published about the launch of this social network: Eurecat,

INCLAM, ABC, La Voz Digital, iAgua, Generalitat de Catalunya.

6.10 Standards OGC forums

On the other hand, WatERP is based on standards OGC, hence track its forums has become a regular

and indispensable action for the WatERP project participating actively in them. The following list

enumerates the OGC forum where WatERP members are present:

OGC: General Comments (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/15)

Common: OGC Web Services Common Specification (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/19)

GML: Geography Markup Language (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/23)

O&M: Observations and Measurements (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/25)

SOS: Sensor Observation Service (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/27)

WFS: Web Feature Service (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/35)

WMS: Web Map Service (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/37)

WPS: Web Processing Service (http://www.ogcnetwork.net/forum/38)

It is important to note that the use of the social media throughout the project is carried out from the

partners account and not a new account from the project was created. The main reason to take this

decision is that the corporative accounts achieve a greater impact than new project accounts due to the

existing membership.

7. ICT4Water cluster actions

Since the “Expert Consultation on ICT for Water Management” (31st January, 2013), WatERP has been

in contact with other projects approved in the same call. As a result of that meeting, a cluster of water

projects was created: ICT4Water (http://ict4water.eu/). Apart from WatERP, this cluster was originally

formed by the following EU funded projects: DAIAD, EFFINET, ICeWater, ISS-EWATUS, iWIDGET,

SmartH20, URBANWATER, WATERNOMICS, WISDOM. Nowadays, the number of members of this

cluster has increased and it is now formed by 15 projects plus two partners. The new members are:

BluSCities, FREEWAT, KINDRA, aterInnEU, WIDEST, EIP Water, Crtl+SWAN.

The goal of the ICT4Water cluster is to strengthen the European ICT water sector by networking EU

funded projects, bearing in mind that information and communication technologies (ICT) are playing a

key role in achieving the main objectives of the EIP on water strategy. ICT4Water seeks to bridge the

technology gap between highly innovative business environment and the actors involved in the water

Ref. 318603 - WatERP, D8.8_Dissemination Report on Period 3_v1.0 page 29 of 41

management cycle. Therefore, ICT4Water aims at supporting networking, co-operation and transfer of

knowledge. The main objectives of the ICT4Water cluster are:

To promote development of information and communication technologies applied to the water

domain, and to develop and conduct various common dissemination activities in order to

maximize the impact of the results achieved by the ongoing projects.

To promote co-operating and knowledge share among its members.

To provide a forum for discussions on technical and business issues, and ensure co-ordination

among its members and organizations.

To arrange meetings, seminars, conferences, and workshops.

To promote interest in information technologies amongst stakeholders.

To participate in local and international organizations and associations with similar objectives.

Different actions have been performed in the framework of this cluster during the last year of WatERP

project:

Several meetings have taken place:

o ICT4Water Cluster meeting in the framework of the Water Ideas Conference. Bologna

(Italy). October 2014. During the Conference, the cluster organized the first special session

dedicated to standards and standardization issues.

October 2014. Effinet held in Barcelona a workshop organized by Aqualogy and Cetaqua.

This event was attended by 70 professionals in the Water sector. The main goal of the

workshop was to present Effinet project demonstrating the novel research and

developments achieved up to date. In addition, an open discussion centered on the

ICT4Water cluster took place with representatives of UrbanWater, IceWater and WatERP

projects and representatives from the water sector such as Francisco Cubillo (Canal Isabel

II, Madrid) and Prof. Avi Ostfeld (Technion, Israel).

o ICT4Water Cluster workshop. Brussels (Belgium). March 2015. The members of the cluster

met in Brussels to hold a working workshop that offered a framework for project partners to

prepare for the cluster meeting to be held on the next day. The assistants worked in topic-

focused groups and they prepared an input for the rapporteur. The meeting was chaired

and guided by the Horizon 2020 Water4a funded projects. Official from the EC and EASME

also attended the meeting.

Partners from the projects have participated in different conferences where the cluster activities

were presented: eChallenge 2014, International Conference on Hydroinformatics, Computing and

Control for the Water Industry, 36th IAHR World Congress, EIP on Water Conference 2014. Some

of these participations have already been mentioned in previous sections (6.5 and 6.6).

Edition of a joint newsletter (as mentioned in section 6.3).

In the framework of the ICT4Water cluster, WatERP has participated in the creation of a common

promotional video in 2015 to present objectives of the FP7-ICT call for efficient water management, and

the projects involved on it. The target of the video is the general public and it has been elaborated in a

plain language, easy to understand and with a commercial perspective. It can be consulted in the

following link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJd3j3I1P1Q

7.1 ICT4Water Open Day

Special attention must be given to this important event organized by Eurecat in the framework of the

ICT4Water cluster. The aim of this event was to present the results of on-going projects focused on the

ICT applied to water management and the opportunities in this field. This event brought together

Ref. 318603 - WatERP, D8.8_Dissemination Report on Period 3_v1.0 page 31 of 41

representatives from the European Commission, industry, technology agents, and European experts on

digital technologies applied to smart management of hydric resources. The meeting, which was

attended by more than 100 people, has made evident the necessity of new technologies in order to

provide a smart management of water. This demand has made Eurecat promote the creation of the

Water Management Centre of Excellence which develops new sustainable technologies applied to

water management.

Figure 14. ICT4Water Open Day

The event was divided in four different sessions. The welcoming session was focused on the

presentation of the ICT4Water cluster and the regional challenges and needs for the new technologies

in the water sector. The second session was devoted to the future of the ICT for water management

sector with three different presentations: “ICT4Water roadmap, opportunities in H2020” (Ms. Grazyna

8. Conclusions

In the view of this report, it could be concluded that the dissemination actions were well oriented to the

consecution of the objectives described in the DoW of the project. During the final year of the project, a

series of actions were carried out: different web pages (section 6.2) have mentioned the project in

several occasions giving detailed information, not only about its objectives and future impact, but also

about its technical evolution at different stages of its implementation. Two relevant newsletters

(section 6.3) included articles about WatERP and one appearance in press took place (written press;

section 6.7). In addition, WatERP partners participated in seven conferences (section 6.5). In all of

them, partners have participated not only introducing the project but also presenting fifteen scientific

papers. Apart from those, two more papers were published in relevant scientific journal (section

6.4). Finally, it should be highlighted that sixteen meetings and workshops (section 6.6) took place in

order to contact 70 stakeholders and many other water-related people and entities in order to

strengthen the dissemination capacity of the project and better understanding of the activities and

philosophy of WatERP project.

Among those contacted stakeholders, there are two of the most important standardization stakeholders

involved in water standardization, OGC and ITU. Related to the OGC contacts, WatERP was involved

on HY_FEATURES contributing with its OGC standard experiences and focusing their efforts on

discuss about compatibility and the semantic mapping implementation. Moreover, WatERP had the

opportunity to present standardization experiences and know-hows regarding OGC OWS (OGC SOS,

OGC WPS, OGC WMS and OGC WFS), WaterML2.0, semantics and ontologies in the several

workshops “Standardization of Water Data Exchange: WaterML2.0 and Beyond” organized by the
