In the water technology and infrastructure category, awards are given to innovative technologies related to the water cycle. Water Europe leadership teams have chosen GoAigua SARS Analytics for its innovation, market potential, impact, replicability and exploitation strategy.

The prize was awarded during the WE Water Innovation Week (22-25 June 2020), with over 200 participants in the online plenary sessions and digital Working Group meetings.

Under the topic “A Water-Smart Society For A Post-COVID19 Green Deal”, the aim of the event is to build a water-smart society.

GoAigua SARS Analytics is an Early Warning System (EWS), which, based on analytical parameters of wastewater, as well as on other socio-sanitary and geographical variables, facilitates decision-making for authorities and technicians in the face of possible new outbreaks of COVID-19.

The solution is a reference platform for integration, visualization, analysis, and decision support system. It is built over GoAigua platform for the entire water cycle management, which means it is flexible, customizable and scalable to the needs of each client. This is possible thanks to an IT architecture in which different microservices are vertically connected to the Big Data engine, which automatically allocates processing resources depending of the needs of each process.

GoAigua’s technology offers a system for data import from multiple sources, the identification of optimum spots for wastewater sampling, the management of work orders in field and laboratories, the control of lockdown measures and the identification of risk indicators.
