uited for both densely populated and remote areas, NWNI gives full transparency of water networks by monitoring water quantity, quality, pressure and temperature. This monitoring solution can connect to all levels of a water supply system and offers service providers and water boards customised solutions from a single source. These include everything from field devices, components for data transfer, data recording and data archiving to data evaluation, as well as forecasting functions. With NWNI, users have 24/7 complete access to all measuring data gathered in a water network and transmitted to the cloud. This data can be accessed via control room, laptop, tablet or smartphone. The web-based visualisation of water networks gives users complete control. In case of failures or if limit values are exceeded, an alarm is sent automatically via email or SMS to a smart device or the control room. There are a variety of evaluation and display options such as time curves,

diagrams, tables or trend displays. By incorporating other data sources, such as weather data, it is also possible to create trend analyses and forecasts, like run-off behaviour during heavy rainfall, water demand or expected water availability. Communication is always encrypted and tamper-proof, even in remote
Drinking and process water Water infrastructure can be in difficult-to-access regions and spaced far apart. This can increase the time and cost of maintenance. NWNI is the ideal solution for minimising routine walkarounds while still maintaining a full overview. It guarantees reliable control of water flows in spring tapping, elevated reservoirs, pipelines, and in pumping and distribution stations. This makes it possible to closely track a broad range of measured values and quality parameters. NWNI offers: • comprehensive monitoring of water quantity and quality around the clock
