“…The transition from traditional water meters to SWM in South Korea started in 2000 when the integration of water management issues with information and communication technology (ICT) commenced [46]. Recently, a three-step strategy for SWM implementations involving technology development, standardization, and a standard frame for the application of SWM implementations has been launched [47]. As many as 137 pilot/trial cases were conducted in many cities in South Korea, signaling the intention of the government to conduct more SWM implementations.…”

“…In 2018, the Korean parliament made huge changes in water management initiating a paradigm shift, where real-time monitoring and remote controlling systems were setup using ICT and AI, including SWM implementations. SWM is well in line with South Korea's national policies towards a creative economy aiming to create jobs from innovation combined with information and communication technology [47]. South Korea has also set up the Environmental Technology Incubator in Korea to support venture capital and provide incentives for SWM technology developments [26].…”

“…Most SWM implementations surfaced from 2010 onwards as the 'Water Supply and Waterworks Installation Act (2010)' was passed to support water demand management technologies [48]. Recently, integrating ICT into SWM implementations in South Korea brought innovative water management and SWM implementations to improve water security and welfare by addressing global water issues [47].…”

Both status and progress in smart water metering (SWM) implementations in five selected countries (i.e., United States of America, United Kingdom, Australia, Israel, and South Korea) are investigated in this study. Despite the countless benefits of SWM implementation, the diffusion of the SWM technologies has been slow due to various challenges, including the absence of compulsory water policies, the lack of support from customers and expertise, and weak cost–benefit analysis. Over the past 30 years, the aforementioned countries have transitioned from a fixed charging to a volumetric charging regime composed of traditional water meters and SWM. Both the status and progress of SWM implementation are quite different among countries, although governments across the world have been applying water policies responding to water scarcity, population growth, and water demand management. However, the absence of strong water policies and political support for SWM implementation resulted in the slow and retarded spread of SWM implementation. Although several changes in water policies have occurred since 1990, there is no compulsory law for SWM implementation. Between 1995 and 2010, pilot/trial cases for SWM were dominant. After 2010, the number of SWM implementation kept increasing and all countries experienced more concentrated SWM implementation, despite the variances in both endpoints and completion of SWM implementation depending on water policies (i.e., acts and regulations) encouraging SWM implementations. The global market for SWM has consistently grown to USD 5.92 billion in 2020. Finally, the application of favourable water policies to optimize the use of water resources and to promote sustainable development is expected to drive the SWM market further.

“…SWM can monitor the water resources, diagnose problems, improve efficacy, and coordinate and manage a sustainable water supply. Furthermore, SWM takes care of the whole water management cycle from source to consumer, including withdrawal, treatment, conveyance, distribution, and reuse of water [105]. • The IoT-based water quality monitoring system comprised of three subsystems, a central measurement node, a control node, tiny notification nodes, and a central measurement node through an interconnected ZigBee-Radio Frequency (RF) transceiver.…”

Water distribution systems are one of the critical infrastructures and major assets of the water utility in a nation. The infrastructure of the distribution systems consists of resources, treatment plants, reservoirs, distribution lines, and consumers. A sustainable water distribution network management has to take care of accessibility, quality, quantity, and reliability of water. As water is becoming a depleting resource for the coming decades, the regulation and accounting of the water in terms of the above four parameters is a critical task. There have been many efforts towards the establishment of a monitoring and controlling framework, capable of automating various stages of the water distribution processes. The current trending technologies such as Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), Internet of Things (IoT), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have the potential to track this spatially varying network to collect, process, and analyze the water distribution network attributes and events. In this work, we investigate the role and scope of the IoT technologies in different stages of the water distribution systems. Our survey covers the state-of-the-art monitoring and control systems for the water distribution networks, and the status of IoT architectures for water distribution networks. We explore the existing water distribution systems, providing the necessary background information on the current status. This work also presents an IoT Architecture for Intelligent Water Networks -IoTA4IWNet, for real-time monitoring and control of water distribution networks. We believe that to build a robust water distribution network, these components need to be designed and implemented effectively.

“…Approximately 700 million people are currently affected by water scarcity in 43 nations. By 2025, in 48 countries, around 2.8 billion people will face water stress because of the growth of the number of water scarcity regions [2]. Unified platforms have been introduced for digital water cycle transformation [3].…”

This paper proposes a smart water grids network (SWGN) architecture that combines the advantages of fog computing, internet of things (IoT), long range wide area network (LoRaWAN), and Software-defined networking (SDN). The main aims of the SWG architecture are to optimize data routing and monitor water supply and quality in real-time. SWGN handles a vast amount of data that is collected by IoT devices from different points related to water supply and quality. The data is processed in a distributed way by a number of fog servers that are located at the edge of the network. The fog controllers are deployed at the fog layer in order to take action locally for frequent events. The cloud layer has a cloud controller to take actions globally for infrequent events. The LoRaWAN provides communication technology that allows devices to operate regularly. The SDN technology decouples network traffic to control data routing decisions efficiently. A primitive evaluation under the Mininet emulator, focusing on SDN, shows the feasibility and efficiency of the architecture.
