Abstract

Water is a vital resource for life, and its management is a key issue nowadays the water demand is increasing due to global population growth and urbanization. Present technologies for water control are currently facing interoperability problems due to the lack of support for standardization in monitoring and controlling equipment. This problem affects various processes in water management, such as water consumption, water distribution, system identification, and equipment maintenance. Under these conditions, new technologies in the water management infrastructure have been required to enable the distribution of high-quality water to users safely and cost-effectively, from the perspective of efficiently using our world’s precious water resource. The Internet of Things (IoT) Based Smart Water Management System is a cutting-edge technology that integrates sensors, communication devices, and data analytics to efficiently monitor and manage water resources. This system enables real-time monitoring of water quality, consumption, and distribution, allowing for proactive maintenance and optimization of water usage. By leveraging IoT technology, this smart water management system offers improved accuracy, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in managing water resources. Based on standards, the system proposal is a smart water management system model combining Internet of Things technology with decision support systems. This system is more efficient in distribution monitoring and control approach for a water utility to reduce water loss. This approach will help utility operators to improve water management systems, especially by exploiting emerging technologies.
