Water management in semi-arid regions faces challenges due to water scarcity and the need for continuous quality monitoring. This study evaluates the use of remote sensing to analyze a reservoir's water quality status in Brazil's semi-arid region to ...
Cryptosporidium is a waterborne pathogen which poses a major challenge to water utilities because of its resistance to chlorination and its infectivity at very low concentrations. The ability to make predictions of Cryptosporidium concentrations in r...
Over 2 billion people worldwide are impacted by the global dilemma of access to clean and safe drinking water. The problem is most acute in low-income nations, where many people still use unimproved water sources such as exposed wells and surface wat...
The digital transformation of water distribution systems has streamlined monitoring and control through the integration of smart devices such as pressure sensors, smart meters, and level switches, all communicating with supervisory control and data a...
The integration of machine learning into urban drinking water treatment plants (DWTPs) offers a transformative pathway to ensure drinking water safety while promoting the development of smart, low-carbon cities. However, the effectiveness of these sy...

Water companies use closed-circuit television (CCTV) to inspect the condition of sewage pipes. The reports generated by surveyors help companies to plan for the maintenance and rehabilitation of sewage pipes. A surveyor needs to record the water leve...
Failures within water distribution networks (WDNs) lead to significant environmental and economic impacts. While existing research has established various predictive models for pipe failures, there remains a lack of studies focusing on the probabilit...
Transforming smart meter data captured at low-resolution litre intervals of 15 to 60 mins into residential water end use data provides valuable insights for water businesses and their customers. Water end use data is crucial for developing effective ...
Due to its multi-functionality, ecological water replenishment (EWR) has been an important measure for restoring aquifers. However, suitable prediction methods need to be selected for the unique fluctuation exhibited by groundwater level (GWL) in the...
