Smart water management

Smart water enables utilities, regulators, and customers to make more timely and informed decisions about how they use and regard their water resources. It has been developed to assist demand management by influencing customer behavior and reducing network leakage, lowering energy consumption, and avoiding deploying assets that are not actually needed. Smart water has seen an evolution toward monitoring wastewater applications. Challenges include the need for common operating standards and more cohesive national policy frameworks. As a result, smart water adoption occurs on a utility‐by‐utility basis.


Smart Water Management
AfWA' s 90th SCIENTIFIC & TECHNICAL COUNCIL 11/30/2022 ✓ XYLEM digital ecosystem creates an information-centric and connected environment.As the workforce is connected to each other they are now connected to physical assets and the environment.Networks of sensors installed through supply, collection, treatment and distribution operations will monitor conditions in real time.Data and information will available via the cloud and hand-held devices anywhere, anytime.
✓ Beyond instantaneous process control, big data analytics provides us the unique opportunity to explore Decision Intelligence.

XYLEM IN
✓ Even more exciting is that interconnectivity does not have to stop at the fence line of each utility.The interconnectivity between water utilities, creates large stores of data about their assets, and the environment.Big data analytics will generate insightful information into the behavior of the shared environment and common physical assets.
✓ This information sharing and integration will holistically improve the management of our precious resource, restore balance to the environment and benefit society.In doing so, Industry 4.0 will drive economies of scope and scale across the entire water industry that were unimaginable in third industrial revolution.
✓ There are four major technological elements to Industry 4.0: i) Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), ii) Cloud Computing and Edge Computing, iii) Big Data Analytics and iv) Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.Xylem's digital solutions fall under elements iii) and iv).
✓ machine learning enables systems to take prescriptive actions based on data-driven predictions.Automation has already replaced routine, manual tasks with higher value.Machine learning and artificial intelligence enables decisions and actions to be taken preemptively in response to changing conditions.
✓ in-situ IIOT devices with edge computing will detect, control and provide visibility on events i.e. level rises, pressure changes, changing water quality and wastewater loading, loss of flow, off-spec effluents, etc.Big data analysis and machine learning allows preventive intervention, shifting the risk paradigm away from consequence management.
