Abstract
This chapter presents a critical analysis of smart water systems as strategic responses to water scarcity, quality decline, and distribution inefficiencies. It explores the integration of advanced technologies—including the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), and remote sensing—across domains such as intelligent irrigation, leak detection, decentralised treatment, and urban water governance. Through case studies from Spain, Mexico, South Africa, and Singapore, it highlights the transformative role of data-driven, modular, and participatory models in enhancing sustainability, equity, and resilience. Emphasis is placed on predictive analytics, simulation tools, and real-time monitoring to support adaptive and efficient decision-making. The chapter also identifies technical, institutional, and socio-political barriers to implementation, offering strategic insights into the future integration of smart water technologies within Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) paradigms.
