Accelerating our current momentum toward smart water

The world is becoming smarter and faster than ever before. Smart technologies are helping improve the quality of human life in all aspects, e.g., the way humans are transported ("smart mobility"), the way we live ("smart homes"), the way we communicate with each other ("smart communications"), the way we manage our health ("smart health"), and the way we are educated ("smart education"), among others. The water sector is a domain with the greatest potential and most room for improvement through the application of smart technologies. Recently, the concept of "smart water" has elicited particular attention, and is being considered as the only solution for current global water crisis, from climate change and droughts, to overpopulation (e.g., Los Angeles, London, and Cape Town).
