How efficient can water management become in the future using smart meters?

摘要

Increasing efficiency in water management is not a far flung, futuristic dream. Utilities are implementing smart meters and entire smart water networks. These products, solutions and systems enable utilities to remotely and continuously monitor and diagnose problems, prioritize and manage maintenance issues and use data to optimize all aspects of the water distribution network. Smart water networks enable improvements in system performance, such as leakage and pressure management, network operations and water quality monitoring.
