Making the most of water resources by leveraging data for action

For us, smart water services stand for improving water efficiency for the benefit of the city and its residents, using data and technologies as enablers, increasing efficiency of potable water networks and irrigation networks, to enhance the reuse of water, allow deferred investments in water production plants and optimization in pipe renewal, as well as preserve resources (energy and water) by improving leakage management and enabling demand response programs.

Environmental Resource Management Center

Energy savings should be measured in terms of solutions, not products. With this in mind, Veolia has developed a suite of customizable solutions, based on a three-step approach:
First, a comprehensive energy audit to determine the potential savings in the buildings and the baseline, then, the implementation of the actions, and finally, operating and maintaining the equipment as well as monitoring the results to ensure that the targets are achieved.

Urban planning and modelling

With ForCity (a startup based in Lyon, France, dedicated to urban modeling), we have the capability to help key regional authorities to build a breakthrough decision-support tool for cities' urban planning based on their specific challenges, and fed with real data and systemic models of interactions and evolution.

This decision-support tool enables cities to optimize and explain strategic choices by simulating along the time the systemic links between technical silos, individual behavior and external trends, thus allowing the realistic comparison of different strategies through maps, 3D scenes, graphics and tables.
 

Going further towards resource optimization, Veolia is expert in reusing, recycling and leveraging value from water, such as producing bioplastics and fertilizers at waste water plants. 
Veolia provides solutions to enhance energy efficiency, and - in particular - has developed a large range of waste to energy solutions and energy recovery facilities to provide cities all around the world with a renewable source of energy.
