“…Although water‐use data have no federal regulation, they are closely associated with water supply infrastructure and thus, can frequently run afoul of Protected Critical Infrastructure Information (PCII) regulations (Ruddell et al. 2020).…”

“…In cases where water use is metered, various U.S. state and local laws regulating water-use data privacy must be considered, even within federal data projects. Many states have regulations prohibiting the public release of individual water-use records for specific types of water users, instead requiring aggregation of usage records into groups of 15 or more customers to preserve privacy (the "Rule of Fifteen") (Ruddell et al 2020). The water usage of public water utilities is generally public information, however.…”

“…Professionals in both fields need to address challenges of integrating and harmonizing datasets from their respective fields and this can be accomplished by establishing regular meetings and jointly developing datasets where possible (Castle and Rugland 2019). There are strategies and data management models that can protect customer confidentiality while still allowing important data trends to be shared (Ruddell et al 2020) Finally, planning and engineering degree programs often have little overlapcoursework or practicums in higher education and formal training aimed at bridging these disciplinary perspectives may help promote integration as students graduate into the workforce (Stoker et al 2018).…”

This literature review covers the research and practice related to the integration of land use planning and water management in the United States (U.S.). Research articles are the primary source of information for this review, but reports published by consultancies, public utilities, municipalities, and advisory groups are also included. This review presents strategies to better integrate the two professions. We describe each strategy and provide examples that have been published in the literature. Strategies are divided into legal strategies which would require either federal, state, or local governments to pass new legislation, and strategies that could be implemented in the absence of new laws. This review is intended to be a resource for researchers, students, and practitioners seeking to advance the quality and effectiveness of land use planning and water management in the U.S.

In recent times, the utility and privacy are trade-off factors with the performance of one factor tends to sacrifice the other. Therefore, the dataset cannot be published without privacy. It is henceforth crucial to maintain an equilibrium between the utility and privacy of data. In this paper, a novel technique on trade-off between the utility and privacy is developed, where the former is developed with a metaheuristic algorithm and the latter is developed using a cryptographic model. The utility is carried out with the process of clustering, and the privacy model encrypts and decrypts the model. At first, the input datasets are clustered, and after clustering, the privacy of data is maintained. The simulation is conducted on the manufacturing datasets over various existing models. The results show that the proposed model shows improved clustering accuracy and data privacy than the existing models. The evaluation with the proposed model shows a trade-off privacy preservation and utility clustering in smart manufacturing datasets.
