Towards intrinsically smart drinking water networks

“The concept of ‘smart drinking water networks’ has gained ground over the past ten years. It is mainly sensors and algorithms that make a network smart in their use. By also taking a smart approach to the design of pipe and sensor networks, drinking water networks become ‘intrinsically smart’. The move towards such ‘intrinsically smart networks’ should lead to a better water supply network with more control and knowledge for less money.”
