摘要: Pervasive and ubiquitous technologies that include mobile device applications, machine to communications, cloud computing, are increasingly used for cost-effective data aggregation information dissemination. Recently, this trend has started gain momentum in the water sector is being various management monitoring tasks, such as remote leakage detection, automated meter reading enhanced usage feedback users. This paper analyses challenges faced by stakeholders (consumers, utilities, etc.) supply industry. Application of said then proposed address these unique varying needs all stakeholders. An example solution, with a application supporting computing developed presented proof-of-concept further illustrate potential use ICT management.
