Observations
------------
Functional effectiveness::
No major difficulties or gaps were observed.  

Accessibility and Usability::
No difficulties in understanding the functionalities of the WDME or the content of the results.

The results of the Data Collection and Harmonisation tools as well as of the Data Validation tool were easily comprehended and displayed through the WDME tools.

No visualisation tool was demonstrated.

Usefulness and acceptance::
Positive:
1) Willingness from SWW's participants to be trained and evaluate the WDME tools. Also, technical partners provide support and materials for training to SWW's personnel. 

2) External observers who participated in this pilot demonstration exhibited their interest in the WDME and expressed the opinion that it is a useful framework for data management. Also, a fruitful discussion on how the WDME can be interoperable with other legacy tools and prediction models was carried out. 

3) The demonstrated WDME tools seem to be relevant to the operations of Water Utility in terms of Data Management and facilitate them in daily operations.


Learning effectiveness::
Strong collaboration among technical partners and pilot operators (users) during the training and rehearsal days. 

Engagement and Enjoyment::
No

Innovation::
WDME supports the whole lifecycle of the Water Data Management process providing innovative tools for data harmonisation, validation, processing and analysis of data from heterogeneous sources.  

Cultural appropriateness::
No. However, informative pop-ups should be added to the pages of the tools to guide the users.
