The Adasa and Aqlara joint venture is promoting the digitization of sanitation in La Rioja as part of the PERTE program

The Adasa and Aqlara joint venture is developing a project to install sensors and digitize wastewater treatment plants in the region of La Rioja, as part of the PERTE program for the digitization of the water cycle, which is co-financed by Next Generation EU funds.

The initiative, promoted by the La Rioja Water and Waste Consortium, aims to modernize sanitation management and improve the operational efficiency of the entire regional network. The scope of the project covers 70 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), 30 pumping stations, 70 collectors, and 17 wetlands, serving a population of more than 324,000 inhabitants and an area of 5,000 km².

The solution implemented includes real-time monitoring of water flow and quality, advanced data acquisition and control, predictive modeling and optimization using the modeling platform, as well as the implementation of digital twins that allow operational scenarios to be simulated and anticipated using Artificial Intelligence models.

Thanks to this digital transformation, the La Rioja Water and Waste Consortium will have greater capacity for detecting and preventing spills, a more efficient response to episodes of rain or overflows, and enhanced compliance with environmental regulations. Furthermore, the model developed is scalable and replicable in other regions facing similar water management challenges.

We deploy integrated solutions from sensor to data analysis and management for decision-making, while optimising the integrated operation of sewerage systems, drainage networks and wastewater treatment plants.
