[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Daegu Metropolitan City Waterworks Headquarters signed a business agreement on the 30th with Korea Convergence IT, a domestic smart water supply and sewage system development company, and the Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation of the University of Seoul.

Through this agreement, they will undertake the project "Development of Waterworks Big Data Management and Analysis Platform and Standardization Technology." The project cost of 1.7 billion KRW will be fully funded by the national government.

The main contents of the project carried out by these three institutions are △ development of a standardized platform for the collection and management of operational data in the waterworks field △ development of algorithms and an integrated management platform to increase the utilization value of collected data as big data △ data analysis on key issues and provision of decision-making information.

The Waterworks Headquarters will provide accumulated waterworks-related data and, as a facility operator, will be responsible for providing platform requirements needed on-site, offering a testbed for field application, and verifying the platform.

Kim Jeongseop, head of Daegu City Waterworks Headquarters, said, "Once the waterworks big data management and analysis platform and standardization are completed, it will be possible to analyze and visualize various information of the waterworks, which is expected to improve the decision-making efficiency of field practitioners."
