Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The goal of this Special Issue is to explore the most comprehensive and cutting-edge technologies and applications related to water security, management, and the Internet of Things (IoT). It seeks to bring together the latest advancements in technology, with a focus on improving water security, water management, conservation, and energy efficiency. Specifically, research papers addressing topics such as smart water management, water monitoring and control, utility automation, water quality and conservation, water sanitation, and other related topics will be included in the issue. Furthermore, papers that discuss the implications of IoT for water security and management, such as the use of data analytics, edge computing, and machine learning, as well as research that examines the impact of regulatory changes, emergent technologies, and societal behaviors on water security and management will be included. This Special Issue will provide readers with a platform to share their knowledge and insights on current challenges and future opportunities related to water security, management, and IoT.
