Abstract

Population growth, urbanisation and climate change are megatrends that are placing unprecedented pressures on renewable water resources and the way they are used. This chapter reviews the potential for smart water approaches to meet these challenges. Smart water covers the use of communications, data processing and data presentation to allow the monitoring and management of water resources in as near real-time as feasible. While smart water is still an emerging suite of technologies and techniques, there is already a substantial body of evidence to show its potential as a disruptive force in modifying consumer behaviour and for the more efficient monitoring and management of water assets.
