Application of Smart Technologies in Water Resources Management

Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
The technological advancements of the last century facilitated the development of efficient, low-cost sensors and automatic measurement platforms that allow water resource monitoring in high spatial and temporal scales. Telecommunication technologies and the development of Internet of Things infrastructure provided the opportunity for near-real-time monitoring of water quantity and quality with early warning and adaptive management capabilities. Measurements of key parameters such as water level, discharge and physicochemical properties are nowadays captured with a variety of smart, low-cost sensors, radar systems, remotely operated aerial or floating vehicles and satellites. This state-of-the-art monitoring infrastructure is expected to provide significant amounts of valuable data in the coming years, supporting policy makers and managers to preserve, manage and restore water resources efficiently. Therefore, the aim of this Topic is to present the latest technological applications and methods for water resource monitoring and management that provide near-real-time information and/or high-spatial and temporal resolution data that can optimize the current management practices and minimize potential impacts from water-related disasters.
