Reducing water consumption today and

in the smart city landscape

This article was featured in Infrastructure Magazine

Reducing water consumption is all our responsibility. Whether this is the individual, companies, or those responsible for the planning of smart cities. When it comes to the latter, not every metropolis will have the same challenges – at least not initially.

Considerations for water management will depend on geographical location, projected climate change, existing bodies of water and more. The concept of ‘smart water’ encompasses multiple factors that will both provide water to users and conserve it for future use, such as:

Collation of real-time water requirement data
Managing water flow, pressure and distribution to users
Forecasting future water needs
The construction of storage tanks and reservoirs to collect and hold stormwater

Efficient treatment and storage of both drinking water and other water use (in other words, water that doesn’t need to be fit for human consumption).
