Defining ‘Smart Water’
Smart water has been realised through the development and convergence of information technology, mobile and digital communication, and the Internet. Smart water management concerns remote communications, data capture and assimilation, and decision‐making. Water provision is directly affected by public health and environmental concerns and is subject to greater regulatory scrutiny than other utilities. Disruptive technologies change the nature of their intended market, and significant disruptions have been seen in water provision. Water meters inform the customer about their water consumption and motivate them to modify this. A broad range of indicators can be used for assessing inland water quality. Catchment‐based water management with real‐time monitoring and predictive systems minimises the response time to perturbations in each area, including linking treatment works to the monitoring data. Smart water offers the potential to comprehensively monitor and sustainably manage water at the catchment level in real time.
