AOWIS – Afritic Open Water Infrastructure Standard

AOWIS (Afritic Open Water Infrastructure Standard) is an open technical standard for designing, operating, and maintaining safe and reliable water and irrigation infrastructure.

It provides a common foundation for infrastructure modelling, monitoring, control, automation, data exchange, and operational practices. AOWIS is intended for use by communities, utilities, organizations, and other operators of water infrastructure, while being designed to remain practical under difficult conditions such as intermittent connectivity, unreliable power, limited technical resources, and the need for local autonomous operation.
