This study examines how research on smart water is contributing to climate-resilient municipal systems around the globe. We identify trends over time, relationships with climate adaptation and mitigation goals, applicability places developed or developing electrical infrastructure. To do so, we systematically review literature, identifying Information Communication Technology-enabled technologies related supply, wastewater, stormwater management. assess relationship between each objectives: managing greater variation in quantity, leading scarcity increased stormwater; declining quality; low-carbon systems. find 96 relevant studies five major categories of addressing mitigation: monitoring, modeling, system design, feedbacks, uptake implementation. there a recent acceleration research, concentration focused modeling. There an emphasis efficiency using data from Advanced Metering Infrastructure, which most applicable cities grids consistent supplies. Secondarily, work distributed sensors for early detection quality degradation, being done all contexts. far less implementation approaches, especially at institutional level. In addition, relatively little that explicitly relates reducing greenhouse gas emissions. While approaches are everywhere, need expanded focus areas without electricity meaningfully contribute Sustainable Development Goal 6.

Model Predictive Control (MPC) has recently gained increasing interest in the adaptive management of water resources systems due to its capability incorporating disturbance forecasts into real-time optimal control problems. Yet, related literature is scattered with heterogeneous applications, case-specific problem settings, and results that are hardly generalized transferable across systems. Here, we systematically review 149 peer-reviewed journal articles published over last 25 years on MPC applied reservoirs, open channels, urban networks identify common trends challenges research practice. The three consider inter-connected, multi-purpose multi-scale dynamical affected by multiple hydro-climatic uncertainties evolving socioeconomic factors. Our first identifies four main currently limiting most applications domain: (i) lack systematic benchmarking respect other methods; (ii) assessment impact model-based control; (iii) limited analysis diverse forecast types, resolutions, prediction horizons; (iv) under-consideration multi-objective nature We then argue future should focus addressing these as key priorities for developments.

The increase in urbanization and climate change brings new challenges to the cities' sustainability resilience, mainly related flood drought events. Among these challenges, it can be highlighted physical health damage population, interruption of water, energy food supply services, basic infrastructure, economic losses contamination urban rivers. To contribute resilience centers, LID practices have been used as a approach mitigation adaptation within drainage systems, aiming at runoff retention, peak flow attenuation, pollutant removal ecosystem services restoration (e.g., resources recycling, carbon sequestration, thermal comfort landscape integration). These different purposes complementary benefits provided by Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) presented United Nations (UN), achieve countries' systemic sustainability. identification local techniques that SDG helps their territorialization application public policy. Therefore, this paper presents literature review, categorizing studies into generations based on main purpose linkage SDG. Some were identified requiring further investigation, such need identify quantify demands for maintenance incorporation system final balance, processes sequestration emission, risks emerging pollutants human from water reuse nutrient cycling sustainable agriculture.

Nature-based solutions (NBS) as green infrastructures to urban drainage are an effective mitigation strategy both in terms of quantity and quality runoff. Real-time control (RTC) can complement flood improvement water by controlling elements the sewage system. This study assessed opportunities with RTC three NBS-related techniques commonly applied different spatial scales: roof, bioretention detention basin remaining challenges integrate methods. Additionally, our investigations showed that main difficulties reported involve planning monitoring stages All studied devices benefit from RTC. It is possible observe that, despite good results literature, application NBS studies on very recent. There several be explored optimize performance.

Abstract The integration of green‐gray infrastructures with advanced control approaches is revolutionizing the stormwater system retrofitting, emerging as an innovative strategy to mitigate urban flood risks. However, a major challenge lies in balancing substantial investments these infrastructure projects their environmental benefits, such reduced flooding volume and lower peak flow. Model predictive (MPC), dynamic intelligent approach, optimizes benefits but underutilized design phase for cost‐effectiveness analysis. This study introduces multi‐scenario model framework that incorporates MPC other into designs, including implementation controlled storage tanks green infrastructures. provides comprehensive modeling tools practitioners evaluate costs across various designs scenarios, ultimately identifying solutions are both environmentally economically viable. A case conducted small catchment area Shenzhen City, China, demonstrates effectiveness this framework. results indicate outperforms particularly under heavy or extreme rainfall conditions. Notably, not only superior also yields considerable cost savings, ranging from 1,787 9,371 USD per hectare compared static control, equating 5% reduction relative rule‐based control. Such findings suggest integrating cost‐effective alternative extensive expansion management, which significantly enhances benefit contribution without additional expenses.
