It flows the motto "to know so to reduce".
Creative data to build awareness, engage and empower citizens at local level and beyond.
The Urban Water Cycle Observatory is divided in two complementary tools:
- a public access tool, with open data information of the water and wastewater city dimensions (top-down approach);
- a private access tool, for individual entities integrate and analyse, via a set of data analytics, the water consumption data of their facilities (bottom-up approach).

Unique selling points
The Public access of the Lisbon Water Observatory addresses the need for a transparent, simplified visualisation of water use and for a deeper understanding of possible levers to contribute to smart water use, to a secure water supply, increase resilience and save resources.
The Private access responds to the need of users to have a platform with water consumption, data analysis in an integrated manner providing a holistic, transparent, and simplified view of water consumption/use, to support decision making and foster sustainable water use, as well allowing analysis per facility or aggregation of consumption by type of water use and associated costs.
Both the accesses foster the digitalization and use of big data, to promote efficiency and protection of the water resource.
