The SAFERWATER project addresses major challenges in water management, such as climate change, population growth, and increasing cyber threats to critical infrastructure. It focuses on modernizing dams and water supply systems while leveraging digitalisation to enhance security and efficiency. Water supply systems are facing major challenges due to climate change, population growth, and the increasing threat of (cyber)attacks on critical infrastructure. Reservoirs and water treatment facilities in particular need to be modernized, operated in an environmentally and climate-friendly manner, and simultaneously protected against digital threats. While ongoing digitalization offers opportunities for more efficient operations and management, it also introduces new vulnerabilities to cyberattacks. The joint research project SAFERWATER is therefore developing a secure, AI-driven approach aimed at significantly enhancing the resilience and efficiency of reservoirs and water supply infrastructures.
