ABSTRACT By improving the operational capacity of utilities, smart water systems may enable utilities to improve access to water services and their affordability. Use of smart technologies is increasing in leading-edge utilities for this purpose. However, water access may be problematic where utilities perform poorly or when utilities do not choose to extend universal service, and smart tools can address both problems with increased effectiveness of operations and improved customer interfaces. In either setting, effective governance is required, and security and privacy issues will be of concern. To explore the feasibility of smart tools, demonstration projects will be needed with political and financial support. An example of using smart tools to facilitate service extension in collective housing is presented. While this is one way to use smart tools, other pathways are available, especially their use to improve overall effectiveness of utility operations.

智能水管理:它可以提高每个人对水的可及性和可负担性吗?

摘要 通过提高公用事业的运营能力,智能供水系统可以使公用事业单位改善供水服务的可及性及其可负担性。为此,领先的公用事业公司越来越多地使用智能技术。然而,当公用事业公司表现不佳或公用事业公司不选择扩展普遍服务时,供水可能会出现问题,而智能工具可以通过提高运营效率和改善客户界面来解决这两个问题。在任何一种情况下,都需要有效的治理,并且安全和隐私问题将受到关注。为了探索智能工具的可行性,需要有政治和财政支持的示范项目。介绍了使用智能工具促进集体住房服务扩展的示例。
