Brief description of ToR
Smart Water Management (SWM) is the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to provide real‐time, automated data for use in resolving water challenges. SWM can be used for planning and operational purposes, from daily use to organisational and policy planning at a range of scales, across contexts and regions. SWM enables governments, industries and utilities from around the world to integrate smart principles (using ICT) into their urban, regional and national strategies. The potential application of smart systems in water management is wide and by applying SWM infrastructure real‐time solutions can be implemented and broader networks can work together to reduce current water management challenges.
