Water
Delivering reliable water supply, including both drinking water and wastewater, is essential in our everyday lives. Drainage, flood prevention measures and water resource management practices are critical to ensuring this supply is safe and resilient. DAFNI is working with major water networks including Anglian Water and the Environment Agency, creating a web-based visualisation tool to help evaluate UK water resources modelling to investigating the impact of flooding.

Other Research Areas
Dr Simon Jude, Cranfield University
DAFNI’s interaction with the Cranfield Living Laboratory and Urban Observatory
Simon will develop a pilot Digital Twin using DAFNI to link real-time and near real-time water quality data from Cranfield Urban Observatory and the National Water and Water Treatment Test Facility.

Lauren McMillan, UCL
Work package 1: different types of infrastructure research ontology
Lauren will analyse device ontology, domain ontology and estimation ontology as well as specialist ontologies from water pollution management, for example, to determine the types of ontology created for infrastructure research and the gaps across economic infrastructure sectors.
