Cyber-physical systems for real-time management in the urban water cycle

Abstract

In the last few decades, water systems management has been increasingly developed into cyber-physical systems. They are based on advanced intelligent systems embedded with controllers, sensors and actuators to enable efficient use of water, energy consumption, emergency response and environmental guarantee. This paper provides an overview about cyber-physical system in reliable and efficient management of urban water cycle. A real pilot based on the Badalona urban drainage water network is provided as a case study.
