As water scarcity, leakage, climate-driven variability, and urban growth intensify pressure on water resources, smart water systems offer a transformative pathway to improve efficiency, governance, and resilience. This domain equips learners to apply IoT sensing, smart metering, AI/ML analytics, digital twins, SCADA, GIS-based modelling, water-energy nexus optimization, and modern governance frameworks. Participants learn real-time monitoring, network diagnostics, leakage analytics, watershed intelligence, performance benchmarking, and utility planning. Learners will be able to build data-driven integrated water solutions for cities, agriculture, and industrial systems and design participatory governance aligned with SDG-6.
