Study on Framework Design of Smart Water Management System in Shenzhen

Abstract

Given the current situation and major problems in the development of water affairs informatization in Shenzhen, we put forward the following objectives for construction of a smart water management system – “to see the whole view through one map”, “to know everything through one click”, “to monitor all through one station” and “to manage water - resource affairs through one machine”. To meet these objectives, we proposed an overall framework of the smart water management system consisting of five levels (intelligent sensing, infrastructure, big data of water affairs, intelligence application and intelligence portal), two main sub-systems (standard and information security) and the main construction tasks of “1+3+N”. In the end, we analyzed the expected benefits of the smart water management system in hopes of providing a basis to promote construction of an overall smart system in Shenzhen in an all-round manner.

Applications of Smart Water Management Systems: A Literature Review

“…At a greater level of detail, Gonçalves et al [7] presented REFlex Water, an architecture for IoT-based smart water management which adopts complex event processing and declarative business process techniques and was applied in a Brazilian municipality. Zhu et al [50] defined a smart water-management system implementation model based on five levels (smart sensing, infrastructure, water-related big data, smart applications, and access portal) and two subsystems (standardization and regulation and information security).…”
