Abstract: Canal de Isabel II, the company responsible for the management of the urban water cycle in the Community of Madrid, is taking the role of a beneficiary in the Horizon Europe project AI:LINER (Data-Driven Sewer Asset Management: a path toward the resilient transformation of Europe´s Sewer Infrastructure). Within this collaboration, AI-driven software for sewer inspection prioritization and long-term rehabilitation planning will be developed and tested for the asset management of part of its sanitation facilities. Asset management in the urban drainage network represents a major advance for water managers today. In addition to its widespread application, it overcomes previous adversities while allowing an adequate level of service to be achieved at the lowest possible cost (Cherqui et al., 2024). Canal de Isabel II, being sensitive to this issue, has keen interest in evaluating the efficiency of this alternative management criteria, based on massive inspection data analysis.
