Using Augmented Reality (AR) and the Internet of Things (IoT) to Improve Water Management Maintenance and Training

Abstract

The convergence of augmented reality (AR) and the internet of things (IoT) holds great promise for transforming water management by improving maintenance, troubleshooting, and training. This chapter explores the synergy between AR and IoT in water management, highlighting their potential to enhance professionals' efficiency and address critical challenges. AR overlays real-time data and interactive guidance onto the physical environment, streamlining maintenance, troubleshooting, and training. IoT provides real-time data and remote monitoring capabilities, facilitating proactive decision-making and predictive maintenance. The integration of AR and IoT offers a powerful toolkit to tackle water management issues, promising increased reliability and sustainability for water resources in a digitally augmented world.
