This book reviews the latest advances and practical applications of smart technologies applied to water resource management. Bridging environmental chemistry, engineering, and information technology, the book offers a multidisciplinary perspective on how digital innovations are reshaping water monitoring, infrastructure diagnostics, and decision-making processes.Chapters by expert contributors cover topics such as the applications of machine learning for drinking water pipeline replacement, geospatial technologies, satellite and remote sensing technologies, Internet - of - Things (IOT), cybersecurity, robotics in water monitoring and artificial intelligence. Particular attention is given to the applications in real-time modelling of flood forecasting in urban drainage systems and the implementation of smart water networks.With detailed case studies and industry insights, this book highlights practical implementations such as smart water networks, optimal sensor deployment, and AI-driven service line material detection. Given its breadth, the book is a valuable resource for researchers, scholars and students, and serves as a roadmap for water resource engineers and planners tackling water security and diverse water resources portfolios.

Rainwater harvesting, a green decentralized water-infrastructure system, is defined as rainwater and stormwater capture, storage and use for various purposes.  Rainwater harvesting can meet water demand in many sectors and at different scales: residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural uses. Noted benefits of rainwater harvesting systems are water conservation, groundwater and ecosystem preservation; urban water quality improvement; stormwater reduction; flood control; drought management; and firefighting. Modern rainwater harvesting systems are considered a major component of the water and energy nexus where using locally available rainwater reduces demand on energy intensive water utilities. From a food, energy, water nexus perspective, use of locally available rainwater can meet food security requirement in urban and suburban environments. At present, rainwater harvesting is emerging as a major alternative water source to surface and groundwater resources, and a major component of decentralized water infrastructure and green water-infrastructure systems. There is a significant need to compile information on innovations and challenges of rainwater harvesting systems and identifying research needs, which are primary objectives of this book.This book will be a significant resource for researchers and graduate level teaching, and serve as a roadmap for water supply engineers and planners tackling water security and diverse water resources and water infrastructure portfolios.

This volume offers concepts, methods and case studies of innovative and evolving technologies in the area of watershed assessment. Topics discussed include: (1) Development and applications of geospatial, satellite imagery and remote sensing technologies for land monitoring; (2) Development and applications of satellite imagery for monitoring inland water quality; (3) Development and applications of water sensor technologies for real-time monitoring of water quantity and quality; and (4) Advances in biological monitoring and microbial source tracking technologies.This book will be of interest to graduate students and researchers involved in watershed science and environmental studies. Equally, it will serve as a valuable guide to experts in government agencies who are concerned with water-availability and water-quality issues, and engineers and other professionals involved in the design of land- and water-monitoring systems.

This volume serves as a useful reference for students andresearchers involved in holistic approaches to water management, and as avaluable guide to experts in governmental agencies as well as planners andengineers concerned with sustainable water management systems in urbanenvironments.
