A cloud-based foundational infrastructure for water management ecosystem

Abstract

Water monitoring is one of the critical battles of sustainability for a better future of humanity. 44 countries are considered at high risk of the water crisis, 28 of which are developing countries and have limited capacity to deploy a national scale solution. As a response to the United Nation’s sustainability goals and initiatives, this paper proposes an intelligent water monitoring service which acts as a foundational infrastructure for all future water management systems. It also provides municipalities, Non-Governmental Organization and other private initiatives with the tools needed to establish local water monitoring in the scale of villages or rural areas with a very small initial investment.
