Smart Water Resource Management using IoT and Data Analytics

Abstract

Water is essential for life and as well as for our economic growth as a precious resource. Water scarcity and inefficient management are still major challenges for economic and environmental sustainability to the rest of the world. Traditional water management ICT systems are often proprietary and lack interoperability, which limits effective manual monitoring, control, and fault detection and real-time data collection, that leads to immense water wastage. This research work proposes a smart water management mode that uses IoT to decouple decision support and monitoring from underlying business processes and vendor- specific subsystems. The model enables heterogeneous devices to work together in a unified, interoperable way. The study highlights how IoT based smart water systems can improve data accuracy, resource allocation, leak detection, and overall sustainability and resilience of water infrastructure.
