Alleviating Water Problems in Abu Dhabi09/02/2012 |

| NIRAS, Denmark, implements three pilot projects in Abu Dhabi within water supply and wastewater, aiming at diminishing water loss and to prevent smelling and flooding of sewage inside buildings. The work has led to the development of a groundbreaking management tool for utility companies. |

Wastewater in people's houses with a smell like rotten eggs, and a 30%-loss of purified, and very expensive desalinated drinking water are some of the problems which the Water and Sewerage Authorities in Abu Dhabi of the United Arab Emirates, has asked NIRAS to help solve.
In order to cope with these problems, NIRAS has been contracted to develop sophisticated monitoring and leakage detection tools and management systems.
The projects are scheduled to be completed during the autumn of 2012. According to Thomas Dueholm Blicher, NIRAS has the prospect of continuing as advisor, once the entire Abu Dhabi capital, with more than one million inhabitants, will be involved.
Originally, the assignment was a full-scale project covering the entire capital. This has now, for various reasons, been changed to the three pilot projects in question. So NIRAS has already a couple of years of experience with carrying out similar tasks in Abu Dhabi. During these years, NIRAS developed the first prototype of an entirely new management tool for utility companies.
The management system, called HOMIS, stands for Holistic Management Information System. It can be used by all types of utility companies.
