The KIOS Research and Innovation Center of Excellence participated in the 4th Joint WDSA/CCWI Conference 2026, held in Paphos, Cyprus, where research conducted within the EU-funded intoDBP project was presented. Pavlos Pavlou, researcher at KIOS CoE, showcased work undertaken as part of WP3, focusing on the development of a Digital Twin-based framework for monitoring disinfection by-product (DBP) formation, assessing public health risks, and evaluating mitigation strategies in Water Distribution Networks.
The results demonstrate the potential of Digital Twin technologies to provide early-warning capabilities and support risk-informed decision-making for improved drinking water quality management. A scientific paper describing this work will be published in the conference proceedings.
The 4th Joint WDSA/CCWI Conference 2026 was organized by the KIOS CoE and brought together researchers, water professionals, utility representatives, and industry experts from around the world to discuss the latest advances in water distribution systems analysis, computing, and control for the water industry.
More information about the conference is available at the official website.
