Schneider, Dubai to explore water efficiency innovations

Schneider Electric, a global specialist in energy management and automation, announced that Dubai Municipality will explore Smart Cities innovations to drive water efficiency, at the opening of the Water, Energy, Technology, and Environment Exhibition (Wetex).

Enhancing water efficiency is one of the key pillars of the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036, with aims including to reduce total demand for water by resources by 21 per cent, increase productivity and water sustainable water access, and increase the reuse of treated water to 95 per cent, said a statement.

In line with the Dubai and UAE government digital transformation agendas, Dubai Municipality’s Command Center plans to incorporate Big Data analytics across drainage and sewage networks, it said.

Dubai Municipality aims to enhance citizen happiness and its customer services in the water field, it added.

As Dubai’s population grows, water is a vital resource for homes, offices, and government agencies. In line with government goals, the digital transformation of Dubai Municipality’s water infrastructure with Schneider Electric is enabling more efficient planning, development, and management of a happy and sustainable city.

Supporting digital skills development, Schneider Electric is training government engineers at the Schneider Electric regional headquarters in Dubai Silicon Oasis, with Dubai Municipality recently marking an engineering graduation.

Dubai Municipality is showcasing best practices in water digitisation. Real-time insights are enhancing water efficiency, expanding business models, and transforming consumer roles.
