Abstract

Numerous water supply utilities around the world face challenges in successfully distributing water in distribution networks due to increased urbanization, population growth, and climate change. The age of the water supply facilities is a particular issue, which is aggravated by their inadequate maintenance and operation. Due of this, many water utilities have recently adopted integrated and intelligent water supply solutions that leverage information technology, artificial intelligence, big data, and IOT (Internet of Things) to handle water supply system issues. In this study, a smart dashboard of water distribution network operation was developed to improve the effectiveness of Tehran, Iran's water delivery system. In order to properly manage water resources, the article proposes adopting knowledge management systems in Tehran's municipal water distribution and transmission networks.
