Abstract

Driven by urban expansion and rapid population growth, water management is transitioning from traditional models towards digitally-enabled smart water systems. This paper examines smart water management practices within the context of digital transformation. It specifically discusses four key areas of implementation: (1) comprehensive monitoring via IoT sensing, (2) water dispatch using digital twins, (3) intelligent emergency response for drainage, and (4) block-level collaborative water management. Furthermore, the paper prospectively analyzes future trends in smart water development, aiming to facilitate the digital transformation of the water industry.
