Case Study: Global Omnium saves over 1 billion gallons of water a year with IDRICA’s GoAigua Digital Twin

Global Omnium saves over 1 billion gallons a year with IDRICA

Global Omnium, a water utility managing a complex network for Valencia, Spain, faced the challenge of operating its extensive and intricate water distribution system, which required extremely in-depth real-time knowledge to manage effectively. To solve this complexity, they partnered with vendor IDRICA to implement its GoAigua Digital Twin to support decision-making for both daily operations and planning.

The solution from IDRICA involved creating a calibrated hydraulic model that precisely replicates the network's behavior, fed by 20,000 daily readings and integrated data from over one million smart meters and other systems. This GoAigua Digital Twin provided a complete real-time overview of the network, enabling operators to simulate scenarios and predict potential events. The results were a 30% reduction in non-revenue water, a 60% improvement in customer experience, a 15% reduction in energy used for treatment, and a 20% reduction in maintenance OPEX costs, saving over one billion gallons of water annually.
