Water transmission and distribution networks in many cities face challenges such as aging infrastructure, water losses, leakage, rising maintenance costs, and difficulties in continuously monitoring network conditions. Under these circumstances, smart water networks are becoming an important approach to improving water management. Technologies such as sensors, smart meters, GIS, data analysis, remote monitoring, and predictive maintenance can help water utilities gain a more accurate understanding of their infrastructure. The World Bank identifies smart metering, GIS, remote sensing, predictive maintenance, and active leak detection as important elements of digital transformation in the water sector.
