Digitalization of Drinking Water Distribution in the Oriental Region: Towards Optimized and Sustainable Management
摘要
IoT consists of digitalizing physical elements such as drinking water meters. This article proposes a topology based on connected meters for managing customer consumption and tracking unmetered losses, as well as improving water quality through a network of quality sensors (pH, turbidity, etc.). The prototype consists of installing a connected meter and sensors in a test area using a digital and connected approach to assess the impact of digitization on the drinking water sector and on the national yield of unaccounted-for water. In addition, a cloud platform and statistical and analytical tools have been developed to help improve the water distribution network.
