IoT Innovations in Sustainable Water and Wastewater Management and Water Quality Monitoring: A Comprehensive Review of Advancements, Implications, and Future Directions

“…The figure reveals that cellular technology, including GSM, GPRS, 3G, and 4G, is the most commonly used wireless communication technology, with a frequency of 14. This finding aligns with earlier research documenting the widespread use of cellular technology in IoT-based systems [95], [113]. LoRaWAN and Wi-Fi emerged as the subsequent two most frequently employed wireless communication technologies, making appearances in the literature 6 and 12 times, respectively.…”

“…Furthermore, several studies have discussed using graphical and visual data representations to enhance decision-making in IoT-based wastewater infrastructure management. Among these studies, Depari et al [98] and Rahman et al [113] have briefly mentioned using user-friendly dashboards without providing specific details on the use of graphical or visual representations of data. On the other hand, other studies have explicitly discussed the use of graphical representations of data, such as scatter plots, histograms, and graphs, to facilitate decision-making [58], [99], [101], [108].…”

“…Several researchers have proposed or developed such systems ranging from small-scale urban infrastructure, such as smart rain barrels [108], to large communal wastewater treatment plants [101], [103], [122]. These systems are often utilized for detecting and preventing overflows, which can cause environmental contamination and the spread of waterborne diseases [102], [113], [116]. Furthermore, some studies have investigated implementing IoT-based sustainable stormwater management systems, which address deficiencies typically encountered in drainage systems [58], [121], [123].…”

“…These case studies showcase the deployment of IoT-based systems for secure and efficient monitoring and control of wastewater treatment plants and sewage networks. Other studies [95], [113], [124], [125] investigated the implementation of IoTbased systems for odor detection and prevention in sewerage systems as another emerging trend.…”

“…Another significant benefit of IoT-based wastewater infrastructure management is enhancing sustainability and energy efficiency. These benefits include improved water quality [96], [101], ecosystem tracking [113], reduction in solid waste [114], reduction in potable water consumption for irrigation [104], and optimization of water resources [58]. Similarly, cost reduction and improved efficiency were mentioned in six papers, including those by Praveena et al [102], Jeffery et al [111], Latif et al [100], Sasirekha et al [116], Alshami et al [109], and Pérez-Padillo et al [112].…”
