Recent advances in smart water technology of drainage systems in China

The development of smart water in drainage systems can achieve real-time monitoring, analysis and control from rainfall to urban rivers, water-users and sewage-treatment plants. Relying on artificial intelligence, smart water can achieve inundation control. This article summarizes the recent advances of smart water in China from three aspects: data collection, data storage and data analysis, seeking to understand the current development from the important points of smart water technology. At the end, we point out the challenges in the development of the smart water drainage system, and provide the perspectives for the future development of smart water.
