Unified Intelligent Water Management Using Cyberinfrastructures Based on Cloud Computing and IoT
Water is one of the most precious natural resources to use in everyday life, agriculture and industry. New methods and approaches in order to find solutions to problems related to water management include adaptive management, predictive modeling, remote sensing, cybernetics, with introducing of new concepts such as: water security, virtual water, GIS integration, integrated systems or management of data in real time. In this paper we present the approach of the Water M project which is oriented to create new products and services, propose as a solution the construction of a unified water business model, of which will benefit European water stakeholders. We present the requirements elaborated for intelligent water networks as efficient and comprehensive management systems in the sphere of water utilities. This paper aim to make a review of state of the art of water management systems, which could be used in the Water M Project. The state of the art review is a first step for filling the user's requirements and expectations. This paper will try to identify this requirements and needs by using a questionnaire applied to various authorities in Romania.
