SMART WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS
Prepared By: Ms. Neha Rajput
What is SMART WATER MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS ??
Smart water management systems can provide a more resilient
and efficient water supply system, reducing costs and improving
sustainability. High-technology solutions for the water sector
include digital meters and sensors, supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems, and geographic information
systems (GIS).

Why SMART TECHNOLOGY ??
Smart technology can change conventional water and
wastewater systems into instrumented, interconnected, and
intelligent systems.
Instrumented: the ability to detect, sense, measure, and record
data.
Interconnected: the ability to communicate and interact with
system operators and managers.
Intelligent: the ability to analyze the situation, enable quick
responses, and optimize troubleshooting solutions.

Smart Pipe, Sensor, Actuator
A smart pipe is designed as a module unit with capacity for the installation of
sensors allowing for the real-time monitoring and automatic detection of flow,
pressure, leaks and water quality as well as without changing the operating
conditions of the hydraulic circuit. An actuator is hardware through which the
analyzed data from the sensors are used to perform the resultant action of the
water system.
Sensors such as the sensors are low-cost alternatives with a wide range of
capabilities and versatility. Sensors and actuators are often paired together,
for example, water flow sensor may be accompanied by an actuator such as
a water shut-off valve to regulate the flow of water.
The main advantages are the continuous monitoring of the network without
local operator intervention and with the low energy consumption of the
wireless sensor.

Smart Water Metering
A smart meter is a measuring device that can store and transmit
water consumption rates, which is made possible through the
installation of sensors and/or actuators within the water systems.
The advantages to smart metering are accessibility to
consumption rates at long distances and quick access to real-
time data for customers and water management companies.

Geographic Information System (GIS)
GIS is used to provide a complete list of components of the
network and their spatial locations. The major advantage of GIS
is the representation of data systems designed to collect, store,
receive, share, manipulate, analyse, and present information
that is geographically referenced. GIS is available from vendors
such as ESRI, Hexagon AB, and Bentley Systems Incorporated.

Cloud Computing and Supervisory
Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA)
Cloud computing refers to the on-demand availability of shared
resources such as networks, servers, storage, application, and
analytical tools facilitated through the internet. SCADA systems
are a control system architecture comprising computers,
networked data communications, graphical user interfaces,
sensors and other related devices for high-level supervision of
machines and processes. It is configured to adapt to different
workloads to drive operational optimization and asset
management.

Decision Support System
Refers to the implementation of a common framework for
measuring the performance based on a set of relevant
indicators and the use of relevant applications, tools and models
supported by the acquisition of data generated throughout the
smart water management network. The advantages of these
systems are that they are used for explanation, forecasting and
prescriptive tools to generate confidence, trust, and
transparency for decision-making processes among
stakeholders.
