A smart city is a city that is water resilient and attractive and makes responsible use of its resources. Appropriate water management not only preserves and improves the environment, it also increases social welfare and the well-being of citizens. A smart, integrated set of technologies, solutions and systems can enable  continous monitoring,  diagnosis and prioritization as well as facilitate maintenance and the management of issues. Data can help optimize all aspects of water production, distribution and treatment allowing cities to reach those objectives. The session will address pain points many cities experience today and point to possible solutions.
