Abstract

This survey explores the convergence of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies with Water Distribution Systems (WDSs), focusing on large-scale deployments and the role of edge computing (EC). Effective water management increasingly relies on IoT monitoring, resulting in massive deployments and the generation of Big Data. While previous research has examined these topics individually, this work integrates them into a comprehensive analysis. We systematically reviewed 255 studies on IoT in WDS, identifying key challenges such as interoperability, scalability, energy efficiency, network coverage, and reliability. We also examined technologies like LPWAN and the growing use of EC for real-time data processing. In large-scale WDS scenarios, where vast amounts of data are generated, we highlighted the importance of technologies like NB-IoT, SigFox, and LoRaWAN due to their low power consumption and wide coverage. Based on our findings, we provide guidelines for sustainable, large-scale IoT deployment in WDS, emphasizing the need for edge data processing to reduce cloud dependency, improve scalability, and enable smarter cities and digital twins.

配水系统大规模物联网调查：大规模部署的挑战、模拟工具和指南

本调查探讨了物联网（IoT）技术与配水系统（WDS）的融合，重点关注大规模部署和边缘计算（EC）的作用。有效的水管理越来越依赖于物联网监控，这导致了大规模部署和大数据的产生。以往的研究对这些主题进行了单独研究，而本研究则将其整合为一项综合分析。我们系统回顾了 255 项有关 WDS 物联网的研究，确定了互操作性、可扩展性、能效、网络覆盖和可靠性等关键挑战。我们还研究了 LPWAN 等技术，以及在实时数据处理中越来越多地使用 EC 的情况。在产生大量数据的大规模 WDS 场景中，我们强调了 NB-IoT、SigFox 和 LoRaWAN 等技术的重要性，因为这些技术功耗低、覆盖范围广。基于我们的研究结果，我们为 WDS 中可持续的大规模物联网部署提供了指导，强调了边缘数据处理的必要性，以减少对云的依赖、提高可扩展性，并实现更智能的城市和数字双胞胎。
