The LARES team had a fantastic time attending the joint WDSA-CCWI conference in beautiful Paphos, Cyprus!

A major highlight of our visit was presenting our latest research to the global water distribution and control community. We proudly shared three papers, developed alongside our great partners from Končar - Digital:

"Data-Driven Modelling of Short-Term Energy Consumption in Water Pumping Stations with Limited Flow Measurements" (Nikola Hure, Blaž Korotaj, Hrvoje Novak, Tamara Hadjina, Mario Vašak)
"Uncertainty-Aware Short-Term Forecasting of Water Demand Using Data-Driven Models and Conformal Prediction" (Hrvoje Novak, Donata Borić, Blaž Korotaj, Nikola Hure, Mario Vašak)
"Identification of a Distribution Network Water Loss Model" (Blaž Korotaj, Tamara Hadjina, Hrvoje Novak, Nikola Hure, Mario Vašak)

The conference offered an inspiring environment for exchanging ideas, discussing cutting-edge topics in water systems, and connecting with researchers from all over the world while further enhancing performance in our Dodola and Rewaise projects!

Beyond the conference, we also had the chance to step back in time and explore the magnificent Kourion Archaeological Site, taking in the stunning ancient ruins and rich Mediterranean history. An unforgettable experience, both academically and culturally!

Looking forward to bringing new ideas, collaborations, and motivation back to our work!
