Summary: Today, there is increasing pressure on the water infrastructure and although unsustainable water extraction and wastewater handling can continue for a while, at some point water needs to be managed in a way that is sustainable in the long-term. We need to handle water utilities 'smarter'. New and effective tools and technologies are becoming available at an affordable cost and these technologies are steadily changing water infrastructure options. The quality and robustness of sensors are increasing rapidly and their reliability makes the automatic handling of critical processes viable. This book provides a framework for Smart Water Utilities based on a M-A-D (Measurement-Analysis-Decision). This enables the organisation and implementation of 'Smart' in a water utility by providing an overview of supporting technologies and methods.
