IntroductionIn today's world, we are experiencing significant population growth, particularly in urban areas, which requires the growth of cities all over the world. However, as urban areas experience this inevitable growth, several obstacles arise to hinder this growth. Two issues of particular concern and urgency in our world today, in all countries, are water quality and scarcity. Due to the challenges we face regarding the quantity and quality of our water resources worldwide, it has become increasingly important to research and identify new solutions and approaches for integrated water resources management . As a result, the market for potable 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 water management. water resources. The inefficiency of existing aging infrastructure hampers 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 make a compelling business case that convinces decision-makers of the urgent and inclusive need to support progressive solutions that would transform old and inefficient infrastructure. However, the facts could not be more compelling. According to Growing Blue, an international consortium of industry professionals, a third of reporting countries lose 40 percent of the clean water circulating in their distribution network to leaks before it even reaches consumers. . Such staggering statistics are not only dangerous for the sustainability of our cities with such waste of vital urban space...... middle of paper ......g used to cover operational costs of delivery of already scarce water, only to be lost in an infrastructure insufficient to preserve it. So why couldn't these funds be used to upgrade this infrastructure so that not only can we conserve water, but also give these utilities the opportunity to maximize the amount of revenue they can use to meet the growing population, respect their budgets and operating standards. and manage an efficient and intelligent network? While many utilities have identified the need for smarter infrastructure and technology investments, few have adopted an end-to-end smart water network. Smart water networks offer utilities of all kinds a tremendous opportunity to improve productivity and efficiency while improving customer service. Smart water networks also have incredible potential to help alleviate looming water scarcity..
