Hourly water demand forecasting for micro water grids
Many countries have problems related to water scarcity and are thus seeking to promote greater water efficiency. A micro water grid (MWG) is a high-efficiency water management system that integrates information and communication technologies (ICT) for the water distribution systems in individual buildings. More accurate forecasting of hourly water demand is necessary if these systems are to ...

Towards adaptive and integrated management paradigms to meet the challenges of water governance
Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) aims at finding practical and sustainable solutions to water resource issues. Research and practice have shown that innovative methods and tools are not sufficient to implement IWRM – the concept needs to also be integrated in prevailing management paradigms and institutions. Water governance science addresses this human dimension by focusing ...

Smart SUDS: recognising the multiple-benefit potential of sustainable surface water management systems
How can we make sustainable urban drainage systems (SUDS) smart? SUDS help us to manage surface water runoff from urban environments but they are capable of delivering much more. This paper looks beyond the water quantity and quality improvement functions of SUDS and investigates the multiple benefits that can be gained by implementing smart SUDS solutions. This work provides a new perspective, ...
