Multi-sensor Remote Sensing Technologies in Water System Management

In order to study how information and technology can be used to improve water management, smart grid technologies were introduced into the water industry. To achieve the goals of water distribution network optimization, and providing high quality of service to consumers, Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is proposed. A set of online monitor sensors including smart flow and pressure meters, water quality sensors, smart water consumption meters and leakage monitoring sensors were installed in the water distribution networks which was connected to the SCADA system. The online flow, pressure and water quality data is essential to the hydraulic and water quality model calibration which make the water system management more digital and reasonable.
