Build smarter, more resilient cities with digital twins that transform how water systems are monitored, managed, and adapted in real time.
Digital Twins for Urban Water Resilience: Real-Time Monitoring, AI Integration, and Smart Infrastructure for Climate-Adaptive Cities and Sustainable Water Management is the essential guide to applying real-time simulation, AI integration, and smart infrastructure in the water sector. As cities face increasing risks from aging infrastructure, extreme weather, and climate variability, digital twins offer a powerful tool to improve water management through data-driven decision-making and predictive analytics.
This comprehensive book explores how digital twins support the entire urban water cycle — from supply and distribution to drainage, wastewater treatment, and reuse. Readers will gain practical insights into how real-time monitoring, anomaly detection, machine learning, and adaptive control systems help utilities optimize performance, reduce costs, and build climate-adaptive infrastructure.
Key topics include:
- Fundamentals of digital twin technology for urban water systems
- Real-time data integration from sensors, SCADA, and IoT networks
- AI, machine learning, and autonomous system control
- Urban drainage, stormwater, and wastewater applications
- Climate adaptation planning and flood forecasting
- Governance, planning, stakeholder engagement, and data transparency
- Lifecycle cost analysis and return on investment
- Global enablers and barriers to adoption in diverse contexts
Whether you are a utility professional, urban planner, engineer, policymaker, or researcher, this book provides a roadmap for implementing digital twins to achieve sustainable, resilient, and intelligent urban water management.
Unlock the full potential of smart water systems and prepare your city for a climate-resilient future.
