Europe is facing growing water security challenges due to water stress and flood risks. With climate change increasing pressure on water resources, it has become clear that Europe urgently needs to take action to build resilience and ensure a stable supply of freshwater for both the population and the environment.
According to reports by the European Environment Agency, water stress affects up to 20% of Europe’s land area and 30% of its population each year. Intense rainfall and floods cause economic losses and negatively affect ecosystems, causing significant damage. Moreover, the condition of water bodies, including rivers, lakes and groundwater, is far from optimal. Only 37% of surface water bodies in Europe have achieved good ecological status and chemical pollution remains a major problem. ADD GRUP, as one of the leading technology developers for water management, offers a solution to improve water efficiency and combat water scarcity. Our ADDRA smart water meters can play an important role in sustainable water management.
In the context of increasing water stress, ADDRA provides innovative solutions for water conservation and water consumption monitoring. One of the key features is the ability to accurately measure even minimal water flows – from 1 liter per hour. This is especially important for monitoring and reducing water losses in municipal systems as well as for optimizing consumption in private homes and businesses. ADDRA smart water meters not only detect the smallest leaks and excess flow, but also control the water supply thanks to an integrated valve. This is particularly important in the context of climate change and the need to control water use. ADDRA technologies can automatically reduce the water supply if the set consumption limit is exceeded and regulate the flow by partially closing the valve, e.g. by 50% or 90%, without depriving the consumer of access to a minimum amount of water.
ADDRA is also equipped with water quality monitoring and notification functions for possible violations such as pollution or backflow, which helps to maintain a high level of safety and environmental friendliness of the water supply.
Addressing water scarcity in Europe is not possible without improving water management and reducing consumption. Reducing leakage, implementing water-saving technologies, water reuse and correct pricing will be important steps towards increased efficiency. In this context, ADDRA technologies play a key role by ensuring continuous monitoring of consumption and raising consumers’ awareness of their water consumption.
ADD GRUP aims to contribute to building a sustainable future for Europe by providing technologies that enable efficient water management and reduce negative environmental impacts. In the face of climate change, it is necessary to act quickly and ADDRA is an essential tool to improve water security and ensure the long-term supply of fresh water.
