Abstract

Smart water meters play a significant part in the interactive control of water supply networks required for smart cities. Opposed to completely mechanical water meters, electro-mechanical water meters or fully electronic water meters can capture real-time data via an automated meter reading process, making them more appropriate for smart city applications. However, the depletion of fresh water supplies as a result of climate change, as well as the rising demand associated with population increase, are some growing concern in many regions globally. Monitoring water distribution and delivery is a critical strategy for increasing distribution efficiency. This paper presents a wireless transceiver unit that can be integrated with existing electronic water meters. The unit utilises a reliable communication algorithm for real-time data exchange. Metering data is transmitted using cutting-edge narrow-band Internet of Things technology that operates using low power whilst covering a wide range with effective penetration.

缺水地区高效供水和智能计量的可靠算法

智能水表在智能城市所需的供水网络互动控制中发挥着重要作用。与完全机械式水表相比，机电式水表或全电子式水表可以通过自动抄表过程获取实时数据，因此更适合智能城市的应用。然而，气候变化导致的淡水供应枯竭，以及与人口增长相关的需求上升，是全球许多地区日益关注的问题。监测配水和输水是提高配水效率的关键策略。本文介绍了一种可与现有电子水表集成的无线收发器装置。该装置利用可靠的通信算法进行实时数据交换。计量数据采用尖端的窄带物联网技术进行传输，该技术使用低功耗，同时覆盖范围广，穿透力强。

期刊介绍： Asia, as a whole region, faces severe stress on water availability, primarily due to high population density. Many regions of the continent face severe problems of water pollution on local as well as regional scale and these have to be tackled with a pan-Asian approach. However, the available literature on the subject is generally based on research done in Europe and North America. Therefore, there is an urgent and strong need for an Asian journal with its focus on the region and wherein the region specific problems are addressed in an intelligent manner. In Asia, besides water, there are several other issues related to environment, such as; global warming and its impact; intense land/use and shifting pattern of agriculture; issues related to fertilizer applications and pesticide residues in soil and water; and solid and liquid waste management particularly in industrial and urban areas. Asia is also a region with intense mining activities whereby serious environmental problems related to land/use, loss of top soil, water pollution and acid mine drainage are faced by various communities. Essentially, Asians are confronted with environmental problems on many fronts. Many pressing issues in the region interlink various aspects of environmental problems faced by population in this densely habited region in the world. Pollution is one such serious issue for many countries since there are many transnational water bodies that spread the pollutants across the entire region. Water, environment and pollution together constitute a three axial problem that all concerned people in the region would like to focus on.
