Diving Into Smart Water Management

By Cecilia Correia, Bentley Systems

Porto is both a coastal city (facing west on the edge of the Northern Atlantic) and a river city (with the magnificent Douro River and a collection of streams and tributaries passing through it). It has been described as a city glued to and shaped by water. The proximity to both the river and the ocean adds life, vibrancy, a lifestyle, and color. Water is vitally important to this City.

Knowing that Porto’s residents’ and visitors’ quality of life is directly related to the quality of the water means that the bar is set very high for those managing water resources in this City. Color, peace, and happiness will only be present for those that live, work, and play in Porto if the underlying infrastructural support is efficient and resilient.

In this case study, learn how Porto's digital transformation created a more efficient, resilient, and sustainable platform for integrated water management.
