Abstract
Urban areas today are grappling with the challenges of water scarcity, erratic distribution, and deteriorating infrastructure, exacerbated by rapid population growth and the unpredictable impacts of climate change. In this context, sustainable water management has become a critical pillar of smart urban governance. Traditional systems, being largely reactive, suffer from inefficiencies due to delayed response times, manual monitoring, and lack of data-driven decision-making. The Internet of Things (IoT) introduces a transformative paradigm by enabling continuous, real-time sensing, analysis, and control of water infrastructure. This research paper proposes an IoT-based Smart Water Management System (SWMS) that integrates sensor networks, wireless data transmission, cloud computing, and intelligent automation to address the inefficiencies in urban water management. The design focuses on reducing water loss, detecting anomalies like leakages or unauthorized usage, ensuring water quality, and providing real-time data analytics to stakeholders. A prototype model was built and tested in a simulated urban setup to evaluate its performance. The results demonstrated a significant improvement in operational efficiency, achieving a 28% reduction in water wastage and faster response to anomalies. The study highlights the potential of the SWMS model to be scaled for large urban deployments and offers recommendations for municipal bodies seeking sustainable water governance.
