Aigües de Barcelona is digitizing the metropolitan water network under the PERTE RESSONA programme (funded 2023): remote-reading smart meters, network sensors, and a machine-learning model (REPIPE, built with the Barcelona Metropolitan Area authority, the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, and Cetaqua) that analyses failure risk across 4,800 km of pipes and 130,000 segments to prioritise maintenance.
