Smart Water Management
Although the industrial revolution has brought rapid urbanization and the biggest population growth in human history, the impacts of such excessive growth of the population and climate change have catalyzed the global water crisis. As the studies show that more and more countries will face severe problems in terms of both quality and quantity of water due to the ongoing urbanization and the population growth, it is crucial to adopt an efficient and effective water management system to overcome such water crisis. To propose a potential solution for the current water problems, this study aims to introduce the Smart Water Management (SWM), the next generation water management system with ICT technology. In this report, we will first identify the current water problems, second, address the background and the purpose of this study, third, introduce major technology and components (real-time water pressure meter, smart pipeline recognition system, small-scale water flow/pressure monitoring system, smart metering, automatic water quality monitoring system, automatic drain, chlorination system, and pipe washing) of the SWM system, fourth, introduce three successful cases in Korea of adopting the SWM system and finally end with a conclusion.
