5 Water Management in Public Spaces
One of the distinguishing aspects of the Waternomics project is its wide variety
of end-users. Waternomics has four pilot sites to test and validate its research
activities, data platform, and applications. The pilot sits represent use cases of water
management in public spaces, as summarized in Table 1.

5.1 Linate Airport
The Linate Airport pilot targets corporate users that are staff members of the airport
including building managers, technicians, and engineers. These are adult users that
have an advanced level of education and skills to work in such environment. Besides
staff members of the airport, target users also include passengers that range from a
wide variety of casual to business travelers from different age groups from kids to
adults.
Linate Airport is deeply embedded in the urban belt of the city of Milan in Italy. It
has a total area of approximately 350 hectares. The airport clientele is predominantly
passengers on particular national and international particular routes. In 2012, the
Linate airport has operated for 6.3% of the passengers, and 2.2 % of the goods in
transit through Italian airports. The airport has two runways for landing and takeoff. The first runway (2,442 meters long) is intended for commercial aviation and
the second runway (601 meters long) is intended for general aviation. The airport
aprons, ramps, and parking stands allow for the simultaneous parking of 46 aircraft.
The passenger terminal extends over five levels with a total area of about 75000
meters square (of which about 33000 meters square are open to the public). The
terminal is equipped with 71 check-in counters and 24 gates, five of which serve
as a loading bridge. Approximately 21% of the area open to the public is dedicated
to commercial activities (shops, restaurants, bars, car rentals, banking services, post
offices, branches of public services) and 7.5% to the services provided by airlines
(check-in, ticketing).
Given the complexity of an airport, a key aspect of this pilot site has been the
cooperation with the company that operates the airport. In particular, information on
