Description
Summary:Nowadays, the need to improve the efficiency and sustainability of cities is crucial. Considering that the urban water cycle is one of the most energy-demanding services, it is essential to find ways of management that minimize the use of resources and provide an environmentally friendly supply. To tackle this issue, pressure management within water distribution systems is an effective method for reducing energy consumption. LIFE TURBINES aims to address this challenge by implementing turbine systems that recover energy and regulate pressure in drinking supply networks, thus contributing to cities with low greenhouse gas emissions.
