A new funding initiative has been introduced to support the digitalization of the urban water cycle in municipalities across Mallorca with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants, with an investment of nearly one million euros. The aim is to enhance water efficiency, modernize infrastructure, and improve resource management in smaller local areas with limited technical and financial capacity.

This program is part of the strategic plan for the digitalization of the water cycle and is financed through European Next Generation funds. It focuses on integrating advanced technologies into water supply and sanitation systems to enable more precise monitoring and more efficient management of water resources.

Promotes the digitalization of the water cycle in municipalities with fewer than 20,000 inhabitants

Planned actions include the installation of remote control systems, sensors, smart meters, and digital platforms capable of monitoring key parameters such as flow rates, pressure levels, and water volumes in real time. These tools will help detect issues more quickly, reduce water losses, and optimize energy consumption, contributing to a more sustainable model.

The initiative also highlights water management as a key structural challenge, particularly in island territories where resources are limited and climate change is altering precipitation patterns. In this context, the importance of long-term planning and responsible resource use has been emphasized.

In line with the upcoming World Water Day, the initiative also reinforces awareness efforts, including a new campaign aimed at both residents and visitors to promote responsible water consumption habits.

The presentation took place in Selva, where one of the funded projects will be implemented with an investment exceeding 162,000 euros. This project will improve network monitoring, enable early leak detection, optimize system pressures, and provide real-time data on infrastructure performance.

Such initiatives are particularly valuable for smaller municipalities, which often face challenges in upgrading water infrastructure with limited resources, and contribute to ensuring a more efficient, sustainable, and future-ready water management system.
