Water networks + SCADA systems in smart cities

Based on the realities that, the global population expands, and that, demand for clean water becomes a concern and can affect natural water resources, Cities are adopting smart water management systems, based on ICT, to save water resources for the future. Technology can help supply systems to provide purified water in a cost-efficient manner.

In effect, integrated information systems to control the water operation process are used. These integrated information management system sends real-time data to operators to track and monitor the water supply process. The data is collected from SCADA systems that are linked to geographic information systems, and integrated with enterprise resource planning systems. 

Water networks in smart cities are geared with automated control systems and information technologies (such as big data, analytics, and information management systems). For the informational purpose only, I can recall that, Siemens and Schneider Electric are providing smart water network systems to streamline water network operations.
