Abstract: Water is one of the world’s most important natural resources. However, in recent years, periods of drought attributed to climate change have affected many countries worldwide. Consequently, this natural resource has become limited in some regions globally, such as the Algarve region in Portugal. Water utilities in the region have felt responsible for raising consumers’ awareness about responsible water use. In this context, water utilities want to promote sustainable water use and reduce water consumption through a water metering policy. However, when it comes to the processing of actual metering data, several difficulties arise. This seminar will show the challenges proposed by water utilities of this region and the strategies used to overcome them.
