Practice and Prospects of Smart Water Management Construction in the Context of Digital Transformation

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.
