Water Management System

Water Management includes four major processes, namely, estimating the amount of water readily available to be distributed, the measurement of the quality of water, distribution of water to different sectors of the city based on the quality and finally to provide a platform to monitor this distribution from anywhere and by anyone. All these processes, are currently treated as separate modules, but the integration of these four models, enhances water conservation and creates a social awareness since the proposed cloud platform can be accessed by everyone, and they are made aware, in advance, about the quality and amount of water they are going to get for the week, so that they can use the water wisely. In this paper we discuss our new and improved proposed model which not only integrates the existing four modules but also optimizes the distribution path based on algorithms for the fastest coverage. This is turn provides a short and concise solution to water management which is more user friendly and can reach more people, hence spreading more awareness. The lack of coordination between the current quality measurement and distribution system calls for an integrated system. This system predicts the rainfall to prepare the system for the amount of softener required to soften the water which acquires calcium and magnesium as it makes its way into other natural rivers. This water management system can be setup both on a small scale and a large scale. The smaller water management system setup in villages can be interconnected to make a larger water management system that can be centrally controlled from cities which helps in ensuring water distribution even in the smallest towns and villages.

Abstract Improving water management in California requires a transition from imported to local water resources used efficiently. To assess this transitional capacity of water retailers in metropolitan Los Angeles County, we focused on a key water management metric: the water distribution efficiency. We traced the evolution of water loss reduction policy and practices globally with emphasis on California. California Senate Bills 1420 and 555 mandate annual water auditing and reporting for urban water suppliers. We surveyed and evaluated ten water retailers' approaches to monitor and reduce losses. Four of ten sampled water retailers monitored real losses, averaging 3–4% of total water supplied. Only three of ten sampled water retailers employed leak detection technology. Of the six sampled retailers with annual pipe replacement strategies, four retailers followed inadequate rehabilitation schedules. Most of the sampled retailers monitor water losses in percent, which misrepresents the actual volume. While a necessary step, California water loss legislation relies on the American Water Works Association Water Audit software. Verifying reported data for randomly selected retailers can ensure high data quality. Small retailers are exempt from mandatory water loss monitoring, and they need state support and resource pooling to improve their water distribution efficiency.

Sustainable water management has a high relevance for universities and this paper describes the innovative water management system at the Environmental Campus Birkenfeld (ECB), which belongs to Trier University of Applied Sciences. The ECB is called the "greenest university" in Germany. Not without reason, because in the GreenMetric Ranking 2018 and 2019 the ECB took sixth place worldwide and was No. 1 in Germany. Ever since the foundation of the ECB, sustainable development and circular economy have been the main focus of all activities of the university. In the sustainability strategy, a holistic approach following the German Sustainability Code is pursued, which includes teaching, research, knowledge transfer and university operation. In 2019 the Environmental Campus achieved in the GreenMetric category water, the full score of 1000 points. As part of an integrated zero emissions concept ECB ́s water management system is based on a meticulously planned water conservation program which includes technological- and management-based solutions to achieve sustainable water resource use at ECB. Within the ECB ́s wastewater reduction and resource recovery initiative a research project on “Zero Emission Water Management and Nutrient Mining” is converting an existing dormitory in such a way that the separate collection and discharge of the partial streams grey and black water is possible.

The research paper proposes an effective solution to the critical problem of management of water resources. With the growing awareness of the need for water conservation, the world is gearing to accommodate and implement latest technology for the optimum utilisation of the drying up reservoirs. This paper aims at developing a cost effective, portable and ready to plug mechanism labelled as “Innovative Smart Water Management System Using Artificial Intelligence” which shall monitor the proportion of water usage per household and keep a tracking on metric usage on the water usage on a weekly, monthly or a yearly basis. The data generated will be established and collected in the Firebase server.  Based on the collected data, it shall also make predictions on the usage and hence allocate resources in a controlled fashion as per requirement. Later the data will be modelled in Time Series fashion to generate real time prediction of water consumption for the household respectively. The water consumer can track the usage by a custom-made android application on MIT App Inventor. Extensive, detailed instructions have been provided on the initial setup procedure and installation. The water monitoring module is used on a daily basis and a tab is kept on the amount of water spilled. This will keep a check on the casual approach of people towards water. It will also encourage a more systematic method to handle water resources and hence would result in better conservation efforts

There is A finite amount of portable water which is decreasing day by day. Rapid degradation of useful water on earth results in an unkind impact on livelihood. In future, people may have to face (DAY 0) problem therefore, conservation of water is essential. A solution has been proposed to this problem that is “decentralized water management system” using blockchain technology. Blockchain technology can help to use water more efficiently so that every household can lend/borrow the required/extra water from its peer household in the network. In this research work, water ledger architecture has been proposed. This architecture can serve as the basis for Blockchain implementation which can help inbuilding transparency in the water management system with the ultimate goal of Water Conservation. To purpose a system architecture that meets the “demand and supply” of all consumers in a peer-to-peer network so that water can be conserved. A smart contract has been written for transactions (P2P network of 10 household) using Ethereum as a platform. A web interface is created for consumers. Hence, the overall objective is to create a smart water management system for 10 households using blockchain technology to conserve water by medium of sharing water among peer-to-peer as per their needs.

Currently, there are 86 communities in the U.S. which employ waste-to-energy (WTE) facilities as a means of high quality solid waste disposal. The WTE process beneficially produces electricity while reducing the volume of landfill waste by up to 90 percent, thereby extending the remaining life of a community’s landfill more than ten-fold. However, the traditional WTE process requires a significant volume of water. This interdependency is often referred to as the “water-energy nexus.” An innovative approach was needed to optimize water conservation for a new 3,000-ton-per-day (TPD) mass burn WTE facility in Palm Beach County (PBREF2). With this in mind, a cascading water management system (CWMS) was developed that uses alternative water supply sources and a cascading hierarchy of water systems that maximize reuse to meet the new facility’s water needs. The selection of an air-cooled condenser to be used for cooling purposes, instead of the wet cooling systems traditionally in place at these facilities will also significantly reduce the amount of water needed in the overall process. The WTE facility will be constructed adjacent to an existing 2,000-TPD refuse-derived fuel facility (PBREF1), allowing beneficial reuse of some of the cooling tower blowdown from the RDF facility as a source of supply water in the new facility. The reuse of this process wastewater will conserve clean water sources that otherwise would have to be used as a source of makeup to the new facility, as well as reduce the amount of wastewater disposed through deep-well injection from the RDF facility. Harvested rainwater and industrial supply well water will also be used as alternative sources of supply to the new facility. The innovative CWMS will maximize reuse and reduce the amount of makeup water needed to the system. As water conservation continues to be of high concern in all areas of the globe, this concept can be applied to other WTE and industrial facilities. This paper will provide an overview of the innovative CWMS that has been designed for the PBREF2 facility.

Water is one of the most vulnerable non-renewable energy which needs immediate from all the sectors of society like an academy, research and from the industry. The deep literature study concludes that 70% of the earth is covered with water bodies that infect the human body made of 75% of water. Water is an integral part of everyone's daily life. Hence these water resources have to be invested wary consciously so that the upcoming generation could survive. The report produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) on India says that the inadequate water management system is a root cause for water scare city though India is well occupied with water bodies. Hence, in this paper, we motivate to propose an efficient water management system (WMS) based on wireless sensor networks and cloud computing. Here, we propose a Prepaid Water Distribution Scheme (PWDS) for the efficient utilization of water resources within the domestic environment. Implementation and validation show promising paradigm towards efficient water utilization.
