“…These platforms are integrated with advanced information technologies such as fog and cloud computing, the internet of things (IoT), and smart grid to construct smart water grids (SWGs). Unfortunately, the existing data routing approaches fail in some scenarios, such as finding the shortest path in multi-hop networks if required [4], [5]. Moreover, because of the increasing complexity of water-related water-related problems, water scarcity, water pollution, leakages, and aging of the water components (pipelines, reservoirs, pumps, etc.…”
