Adasa promotes the digitalization of the integral water cycle in Burgos within the framework of the DIGITAGUABURG project

 

Adasa Sistemas has launched a new phase of the DIGITAGUABURG project, a pioneering initiative in the digitalization of the integral water cycle in the municipality of Burgos. This project, financed with NextGenerationEU European Funds, is part of the PERTE for the Digitalization of the Water Cycle and represents a key step towards a more efficient, sustainable and resilient management of water resources. In this phase, the installation of an advanced sensorization system is being carried out, with instrumentation scopes in water level, flow and quality sensors, rain gauges and discharge control points, with the aim of reinforcing the monitoring of all municipal service facilities in the city of Burgos.

Technology for intelligent water management
The deployed system incorporates:

  1. Multiparametric sensors for continuous measurement of pH, conductivity and turbidity in sewage networks.
  2. Telemetry devices with level sensors located at critical overflow points.
  3. Rain gauges to quantify rainfall and correlate it with urban runoff volumes.

Data integration and real-time decision making
All data captured by the sensors are integrated into the Aguas de Burgos SCADA system, with the aim of optimizing operations and service management by allowing the visualization, analysis and automatic generation of reports.
Thanks to this digital integration, operational efficiency is improved, more transparent and proactive management is promoted and the capacity to respond to critical situations is reinforced, consolidating Burgos as a benchmark in the digital transformation of the urban water cycle.

Operational impact and alignment with PERTE funds
With an investment of more than 20 million euros, DIGITAGUABURG is part of the Digitalization Master Plan 2025-2030 of Aguas de Burgos and represents an example of effective application of PERTE funds.
The main expected results include:

  1. A 30% reduction in response times to pollution episodes.
  2. Permanent monitoring of 23 overflow points in the unitary sanitation networks.

Commitment to efficiency and sustainability
The project responds to Burgos' strategy to move towards smart water management, reduce losses, guarantee supply and adapt to climate change, in line with the objectives of the Next Generation European funds and the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan.

With this initiative, Burgos takes a decisive step towards the integral digitalization of the water cycle, placing itself at the forefront of water management in Spain, combining operational efficiency and compliance with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 6 and 9).
