A Smart Water Grid for Micro-Trading Rainwater: Hydraulic Feasibility Analysis

摘要: Water availability is increasingly stressed in cities across the world due to population growth, which increases demands, and climate change, can decrease supply. Novel water markets supply paradigms are emerging address shortages urban environment. This research develops a new peer-to-peer non-potable market that allows households capture, use, sell, buy rainwater within network of users. A market, as envisioned this research, would be enabled by existing technologies. dual reticulation system, circulates water, serves backbone for trading receiving from residential tanks distributing irrigation purposes. Prosumer produce using cisterns collect store household pumps inject into at sufficiently high pressures. The smart grid through an array information communication technologies provide capabilities automated real-time metering flow, control infrastructure, between households. goal manuscript explore test hydraulic feasibility micro-trading system agent-based modeling approach. represented agents pump network; consumer withdraw demands.
