IoT System for Water Reuse in Developing Cities
Project Introduction
Due to limited water resources, increasing urban water demand and climate change, many urban water systems are facing ever-increasing pressure in supplying potable water. This pressure can be further increased by the lack of sustainable water management. Also, urban areas are vulnerable to any short-term environmental shocks and long-term environmental change, due to limited water resources. Water reuse appears to be the only solution.
However, many water reuse projects failed in the past, due to insufficient monitoring and maintenance. Hence, we propose pairing with ICT technologies, which allow the real-time analysis and monitoring of water quality to preserve the water reuse system and the safety of vulnerable citizens. Moreover, data can be collected through IoT to improve water management in cities. The major aim of this project is to design and develop a system which can perform wastewater treatment, water quality analysis and monitoring, as well as critical water reuse data collection to improve household water use and conservation. This requires a collaborative framework which orchestrates wireless communication technology and cloud-based technology involving image analysis, multisensory data fusion techniques, cloud computing analytics and system provisioning besides the wastewater treatment technologies.
