Introduction In today's world, we are experiencing significant population growth and particularly in urban environments, requiring the growth of cities around the world. However, as urban areas experience this inevitable growth, several obstacles emerge to hinder it. Two issues of particular and urgent concern in our world today in all countries are water quality and water scarcity. Due to the challenges we face regarding the quantity and quality of our water resources around the world, it has become increasingly important to research and identify new solutions and approaches to integrated water resources management. As a result, the market for safe and available water, as well as water treatment and transportation infrastructure and technologies, is expected to continue to grow rapidly as stakeholders seek new solutions and approaches for integrated resource management water. The inefficiency of existing aging infrastructure hinders the ability of utilities to adequately meet the future demands of urban environments, but despite this growing need for change, it has been difficult for most utilities to create a compelling business case that convinces decision makers of the pressing and inclusive need to support progressive solutions that would transform an old and inefficient infrastructure. However, the facts could not be more compelling. According to Growing Blue, a leading consortium of international industry professionals, a third of reporting countries are losing 40% of the clean water flowing through their distribution networks, due to leaks, before it even reaches consumers. consumers. Such staggering statistics are not only dangerous for the sustainability of our cities with such a waste of a vital urban element......half of paper......g used to cover the operational costs of sending water that is already poor, simply get lost in an infrastructure inadequate to preserve it. So why couldn't these funds be used to upgrade this infrastructure so that we can not only conserve water, but also give these utilities the ability to maximize the amount of revenue that they can use to meet the growing population, meet budgets and operational standards? and manage an efficient and intelligent network? While many utilities have identified the need for smarter infrastructure and technology investments, few have embraced an end-to-end smart water network. Smart water networks offer utilities of all types a huge opportunity to improve productivity and efficiency while improving customer service. Smart water networks also have incredible potential to help alleviate impending water scarcity.
