Smart Water Solution for Monitoring of Water Usage Based on Weather Condition

Abstract

Conservation of water in urban areas is an ongoing challenge in which technology like IoT and WSN is playing a very crucial role. Studies show that 54% of India is facing absolute water scarcity or high economic water stress. To address this challenge the forecasting and monitoring of water consumption along with effective management and distribution are important. This paper implements the seasonal threshold constraint on water distribution which conserves a significant amount of water loss over uniform supply around the year by considering end-user behavior changes according to the season. The results have been confirmed through simulation of the proposed algorithm Weather-based Smart Water Monitoring (WSWM). This extensive study only suggests a possible alternative approach to design the water distribution system to conserve water. However, more work is required for achieving an optimized approach for sustainable urban water management.

A systematic review of municipal smart water for climate adaptation and mitigation

“…Wang et al (2020) propose a two-stage method for burst detection in district metered areas: first clustering for outlier detection and then identifying the presence of bursts. To minimize system-level water loss through leakage, Rout et al (2020) develop an algorithm to define a seasonal threshold constraint on water distribution, conserving water over the typical uniform supply.…”

“…Many of these studies examine two or more of these subjects at once. Several studies examine water distribution based on demand forecasting (Brentan, et al, 2018a; Mounce et al, 2014; Narayanan and Sankaranarayanan, 2020; Preciado et al, 2019; Rout et al, 2020). Two studies specifically focus on measuring and managing pressures (Pan et al, 2015; Pérez-Padillo et al, 2020).…”
