Description

Explore the complex debate surrounding Smart Water Management (SWM) in this specialized volume from the Routledge Special Issues on Water Policy and Governance. As industries and utilities increasingly adopt SWM to manage water and wastewater more efficiently, this book examines the actual effectiveness of these technological shifts in urban, regional, and city scales. While SWM is promoted as a way to reduce overall consumption and improve cost-effectiveness through Information and Communication Technology (ICT), the implementation is not without challenges. This text looks at how real-time, automated data can resolve water challenges, while also addressing the high costs and complexity associated with these systems. It provides a necessary critique of modern approaches that may overlook more affordable and accessible methods for managing vital water resources. Ideal for readers interested in economics, urban planning, and utility management, this book offers a deep look into whether smart technology truly delivers on its promises or if the approach requires a fundamental rethink to ensure sustainable water governance.
