智能供水系统

摘要：全球移动通信革命为解决水安全和减轻贫困提供了新的机会。这标志着一个新的技术时代将要来临，它可以改革供水服务的支付、操作和管理方式，减少了数十亿美元的水务融资缺口，增加了调查，减轻了财政负担，尤其是对低收入的国家。手机银行已经为低收入人群增加了财政通道，为水务部门的创新节能和支付应用提供了机会。智能水表在工业化国家广泛应用，为发展中地区解决系统操作效率低的问题提供了前所未有的机会，可以更有效的管理和分配水资源。基于全球的文献调查以及肯尼亚和赞比亚的实地考察，我们发现所有的证据都表明移动网络覆盖面的扩大、范围广阔的手机用户群、创新的手机银行应用程序和智能技术的融合为水安全和减少贫困提供了新的、有效的、成本低和具有包容性的途径。智能供水系统(SWS)为促进水安全提供了一种新的方法，对于供水服务设施，智能供水系统可以打破水务事业营运差和赤字的情况。本文详细介绍了智能水循环的工作性能、工作条件，及解决的问题。

 

Smart water system

Abstract: The global mobile communications revolution presents new opportunities to address water security and poverty reduction challenges. These milestones mark a new technological era which can transform the way water services are paid for, operated and regulated with the prospect of reducing the multi-billion dollar water service financing gap, crowding-in investment and lessening the fiscal burden, particularly for low-income countries. Mobile banking is already increasing financial access amongst low-income groups with emerging opportunities for innovative saving and payment applications in the water service sector. Smart water metering is rapidly being deployed across the industrialized world, and offers an untapped opportunity to address systemic operational inefficiencies in developing regions and to govern water resource use and allocation more effectively at scale. Based on a global literature review and proof-of-concept fieldwork in Kenya and Zambia, we find compelling evidence that the confluence of mobile network coverage expansion, wide-spread mobile phone ownership, innovative mobile banking applications and smart metering technologies offer new, effective, low-cost and inclusive pathways to water security and poverty reduction. Smart Water Systems (SWS) present a new approach to promote water security. For water service utilities the SWS approach can break the downward spiral of poor operational and financial performance.
