In many parts of the world, management of water resources and infrastructures is fragmented between agencies at multiple levels – state, provincial, and local – and sometimes between functions within individual agencies. Consequently it is often impossible to take a holistic view of the issues at hand to enable effective management of the resource or infrastructure – either because of the overhead of managing the coordination required, and/or because of politics between the different stakeholders. In their work for IBM, the authors created a concept of an information technology (IT)-enabled “collaboration platform” that integrates different water data sources with IT tools to enable multiple entities to maintain and share a “common operating picture.” This greatly assists with coordination and reduces politics to manageable levels. In this paper, the authors describe the collaboration platform and its benefits by reference to examples of such platforms in use, and propose a reference technical architecture for creating collaboration platforms.

Extreme meteorological and hydrological events occur frequently caused by global climate change and intensify human activities, make urban water resources problems becomes more complicated, bring about important influence on urban flood control safety, water supply safety, water ecological security, water environmental security, need new technologies as support urgently. New information technology related with urban water resources emergency management, including Internet of things, cloud computing, geographic information technology, are discussed in the paper, on the basis of which the concept and core contents of urban smart water resources emergency management are proposed, through the construction of urban smart water resources management system, coordinated, dynamic, refined and smart emergency management of sudden water disaster events are achieved.

The advantages of the basin approach in the study of regional water use are justified in the article, water management areas according to the water management division of the Russian Federation were used as territorial units of the study. A universal methodic for the integrated assessment of the region’s water management activities was developed, based on geo/information technology. Stages of the study are described, including water management of the area, ranking based on the total anthropogenic load on water bodies and river basins, zoning of the territory to optimize the target use of water resources. The GIS of water use of the Lake Baikal basin is developed on the basis of governmental statistics, mass media examples of organization of water management data, as well as the results of automated mapping of water bodies. The results of water management regionalization are presented and spatial regularities of water use organization in the investigated territory are revealed. The ranking of river basins and water bodies according to the degree of anthropogenic load has been carried out, ecological problems of the region have been identified and their spatial localization has been fixed, the exact locations of pollution sources and their influence on water management have been established. Zoning of the territory under study for targeted use of water resources was proposed, five unique zones were identified, differentiated according to the special conditions for the formation of water resources and the specific use of water bodies, as well as the nature and intensity of the current and forecasted water use. A set of measures to optimize water use within the zones of targeted use of water resources is proposed.

Scarcity of water resources due to increased demand as a result of exponential increase in population leading to accelerated requirement of food and industrial goods has led to a situation where many countries are facing severe water crisis. About 70% of water is being used for irrigation. As a result of this, in many cases untreated wastewater is also used for irrigation which further poses various threats to human health. Various studies have proposed that applying information technology in the irrigation techniques can help in reducing the water consumption in the farms. The smart farming techniques developed through the use of information technology can help the farmer in managing the water resources, reducing the wastage of water and to even measure the quality of water. Smart farming techniques can aid in solving biggest crisis and can help in attaining sustainable development goals.

The development of information technology expands the spatial and temporal scale and types of elements of the water resources information, making the water resources data show the characteristics of multi-source, heterogeneous, massive, and the traditional data processing method is difficult for fine processing and dynamic analysis. Combined with the "4v" characteristics of big data, we put forward a framework for processing water resources big data, to process and analyze modern water resources data for real-time and rapid, and discuss the related application. Based on the features of modern water resources data, this paper discusses the characteristics and application technology of big data, and briefly describes a framework for processing water resources big data and application.

Water has become a concern throughout the planet because it has become a scarce resource in recent years, due to several factors, especially the disrespect of human being for sustainable development. Nowadays, it is imperative to create public policies, legislation and the proposal of new methodologies, processes and products that can help in the fight against pollution, waste and rational use of water resources. Particularly, the use of information technology provides a modern, agile and efficient management of water resources. One of the important actions in this sense is the water use surveillance. In this article, we discuss the surveillance process, we approach a surveillance methodology used in the Water Management Agency, and we present a Web-based information system architecture and a mobile platform to provide a management of the surveillance in an efficient and effective way. The proposed system is already online at agency and some partial results, especially regarding the denunciations, notifications and proceedings are discussed.
