Handbook of Digitalization and Big Data in the Water Sector : 3-Volume Set

This 3-volume set delves into the intersection of cutting-edge technology and environmental science to address pressing challenges in the water sector and develop digitalization solutions that can have practical implementation in decision making and management of wastewater treatment.

This 3-volume set delves into the intersection of cutting-edge technology and environmental science to address pressing challenges in the water sector and develop digitalization solutions that can have practical implementation in decision making and management of wastewater treatment. With special emphasis on the integration of big data, artificial intelligence (AI), and machine learning (ML), Volume 1 provides theoretical foundational and practical insights for water systems optimization, resource conservation, and sustainable operations; Volume 2 explores pathways to a sustainable, low-carbon future by emphasizing predictive maintenance, energy-efficient operations, leak detection, and climate-adaptive planning; and Volume 3 pursues real-world applications in water supply, wastewater treatment and flood management through a host of diverse and well-researched case studies. Ideal for water engineers, researchers, policymakers, and sustainability practitioners, this handbook serves as an essential guide for professionals seeking to harness digitalization for smarter, data-driven water management. It is equally valuable for graduate students, academics, and technology innovators interested in bridging the gap between emerging AI capabilities and practical water sector applications.
