Waternomics Methodology targets a wide variety of end-users
The “standards-based approach ensure
the repeatibility of the results in
different environments

STANDARD BASED PROCESS
The Methodology is targeted to fill the gap in the water sector where not
many standards are available for implementing a WMP. The methodology
provides a basis for water management improvement and effectively shows
how different standards, also taken from energy sector, can drive
organizations and households to use water more efficiently.
ISO 50002
Energy Audit
A knowledge base of the methodology has been founded on the ISO 50001
processes, Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle and the integration of all the other
standards criteria represents a novelty

5. @WATERNOMICS_EU www.waternomics.eu5
ITERATIVE PROCESS
The Waternomics Methodology:
ü Cyclic process to iteratively improve water efficiency.
ü That provides a project-based approach with defined roles and a clear
start and end of each iteration
ü That leads to organizational changes in the areas of People, Technologies
and Processes.

METHODOLOGY PHASES
Assess: Determine whether or not an end user or decision maker should
engage in the construct of a water management program, take water
efficiency measures and/or implement a water information system. Plan:
Establish the baseline, objectives, targets and action plans necessary to
deliver results
Do: Implement the water management action plans. Check: Monitor and
measure processes and the key characteristics of its operations that
determine energy performance against the water objectives.
Act: Take actions to continually improve water performance.

METHODOLOGY PHASES
The Methodology overlap towards the ISO Standards

MANAGEMENT TOOL
The “homepage” for the Waternomics Methodology “Trello Board”
A methodology may be as exhaustive as possible when listing the actions to
be implemented, but without the accompanying tools will always be difficult
to apply it to the real case. Through use of the Waternomics Methodology
TRELLO Board, an organization can better ensure that a water management
program is performed in a consistent way and have relevant information
captured and communicated all in one place.

METHODOLOGY APPLIED IN THE PILOTS
• The standard based method effectively
helps in implementing a WMS
• It can lead to obtain a water consumption
reduction excellence certification by
being compliant with the most recent
EU directives.
• The standard approach also give the
possibility to include in the methodology
new standards to comply with
organizations needs and governance.

10. @WATERNOMICS_EU www.waternomics.eu10
IMPACT
• Define a standard based method to implement a WMS
• Ensure the repeatability of the results
• Provide a set of tools and references to help implement
the methodology
• Methodology is customizable to the needs of different
end users

11. @WATERNOMICS_EU www.waternomics.eu11
INSIGHT
• The use of a Standard-based
Methodology and related methods
make easiest the implementation
of a Water management system
in different environments and for
different end-users
• Waternomics methodology can be
one step and contribution in the
development of standards
dedicated to water management
programs
