Provides information on Smart Water Grids, Smarter Water Cities, Smart Water Management,
and the Water Industry in relation to the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

Detailed Information for this Area

1.Future of the Water Industry: Smart Water Grid

-The Smart Water Grid is a next-generation water management infrastructure system that utilizes advanced information and communication technologies (ICT) to overcome the limitations of traditional water resource management systems.
-It integrates various water sources such as rainwater and seawater, efficiently distributing, managing, and transporting water to resolve the imbalance in water resources.
-The Smart Water Grid can be divided into three main components: Smart, Water, and Grid.

1) Smart

: This component focuses on the shift in water management paradigms to address climate changes like droughts and floods, and green growth, advocating for decentralized water resources and integrated management of quantity and quality.

2) Water

: This component emphasizes the efficient use of multiple water sources such as reservoirs, groundwater, seawater, and reclaimed water, moving away from large-scale water development and long-distance transportation. It also aims for supply management that focuses on demand-driven water distribution.

3) Grid

: This component integrates ICT with the water industry to establish a bidirectional, real-time operational network through spatial and temporal networks.

2.Components and Scope of the Smart Water Grid

- Physical Components of Smart Water Grid Technology

1) Water Platform

: This platform integrates and manages various water sources such as dams, rivers, wastewater treatment, groundwater, seawater, and desalinated water.

2) Integrated ICT Platform

: This is a data integration and management module.

3) Micro-grid

: A localized water network connected through water loops for smaller urban areas.

- Scope of Smart Water Grid Technology
Supply (Water Source Scope): Natural, active, and distribution management (intelligent scope).
Real-time Water Information Management: This includes technologies for solving spatial and temporal imbalances in water resources and optimizing operational networks.
Demand (Utilization Scope): Custom services for new cities and water-scarce areas, as well as testing and operation of design bed infrastructure.

3.Smart Water Grid Technology in South Korea: Smart Water Cities

-A Smart Water City is based on the Smart Water Grid, which integrates ICT into the entire water supply process, from water intake to faucet, scientifically managing water quantity and quality, providing drinking water information, and ensuring a healthy water supply system.
-South Korea began its pilot Smart Water City project in Paju in 2014.
-In 2016, Smart Water Cities were applied from the planning stage in areas like Songdo Green City and Busan Eco Delta City.
-In 2017, the Smart Water City was applied for the first time as a national project in Sejong City.
-The Smart Water City concept will also be introduced to cities like Dongducheon, Yangju, Jeongeup, Goryeong, and Naju.
-Interest in Smart Water Cities has increased, especially after the "red water incident" in some parts of Incheon in 2019, where discolored water was released from the taps.
-Key Elements Required for Building a Smart Water City

1) Water intake and treatment facilities for utilizing multiple water sources.

2) Intelligent water distribution networks to efficiently supply treated water to users.

3) ICT platforms for integrating and managing collected data and supporting decision-making processes.

-Smart Water Cities utilize not only groundwater and surface water but also a combination of water sources like rainwater, seawater, and reclaimed wastewater. This involves using ICT infrastructure such as smart meters, smart sensors, and GIS (Geographic Information Systems), along with water resource observation data.

4.The Smart Water City Created by the Water Industry

-The Smart Water City strives to increase citizens' satisfaction with tap water and enhance the utilization of water resources through various efforts.

Ensuring and Producing Healthy Drinking Water	-Water source quality monitoring technology -Expanding infrastructure for securing water supply, including water source diversification -Advanced water treatment technologies such as high-level water purification
Thorough Management of the Drinking Water Supply Process	-Integrated monitoring and control systems for the entire drinking water supply process -Real-time quantity and quality management technologies for the supply process -Pipeline and water network diagnostic technologies
Consumer-Centered Urban Services	-Real-time water quality information provision -Total care services that focus on customer experience -Infrastructure to improve drinking water environments, such as water fountains for public access

5.Smart Water Management

-Smart water management is a future-oriented water control system that integrates advanced information and communication technology (ICT) into every process of water supply, from water sources to households.
-A real-time monitoring and control system based on artificial intelligence (AI) and ICT is established for all processes to prevent large-scale water supply accidents.
-Currently, South Korea is utilizing an integrated control system for managing both water quantity and quality, along with remote leak detection sensors and smart water meters.
-Real-time water quality information can be checked through smartphone apps and water quality display boards installed in public places.

6.The 4th Industrial Revolution and the Water Industry

-The 4th Industrial Revolution refers to the rapid transformation of productivity and the intelligence of products and services through the fusion of advanced technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), and big data, leading to innovative changes in the economy and society as a whole.
-The 4th Industrial Revolution also presents an opportunity to advance the water sector by integrating technological convergence and innovation into water management systems.
-Technological innovations based on the 4th Industrial Revolution in the water industry include

1) Utilizing and recycling water resources, starting from rainfall.

2) Artificial intelligence resolving complex challenges such as managing water networks, predicting and learning from disasters, and overseeing ecosystems and water resources within an advanced, intelligent, smart water grid integrated system. These innovations offer a future for the water cycle industry based on new concepts and technologies, driven by IoT and cyber-physical systems (CPS).
