Application of smart technologies in water management analysis
Abstract
More and more regions of the world are suffering due to urbanization and emerging industries. Therefore, water extraction and water management become a priority issue globally. Scientists are beginning to implement the most modern technologies and use sustainable development and sustainable construction solutions which would help solve water management problems. The article analyses the application of the most advanced technologies in water management, which increase the efficiency of buildings in the operational phase and help to implement the goals of sustainable development and sustainable construction. The study found that AI (Artificial Intelligence) and IoT (Internet of Things) technologies can be applied in many areas of water management. For example, monitoring and prevention of engineering network accidents, water distribution in engineering networks, wastewater treatment, water desalination processes, selection of efficient water-saving engineering solutions, flood prevention and implementation of sustainable construction. The implementation of the most modern technologies benefit citizens, state institutions, water management companies and the ecosystem.

Išmaniųjų technologijų taikymo vandentvarkoje analizė
Santrauka
Urbanizacija, naujų pramonės šakų plėtra ir auganti populiacija lemia, kad vis daugiau regionų susiduria su vandens trūkumu. Dėl to vandens gavybos ir valymo klausimai tampa prioritetiniai, o mokslininkai taiko pažangias technologijas ir darnios plėtros sprendimus vandentvarkos problemoms spręsti. Todėl šiame tyrime siekiama išsiaiškinti naujausių ir pažangiausių technologijų, didinančių pastatų efektyvumą eksploatacijos etape bei padedančių įgyvendinti darnios plėtros ir tvarios statybos tikslus, taikymo lauką vandentvarkos srityje. Tyrime nustatyta, kad dirbtinio intelekto ir daiktų interneto technologijas galima pritaikyti daugelyje vandentvarkos sričių, pavyzdžiui, inžinerinių tinklų avarijoms stebėti ir prevencijai, vandeniui paskirstyti inžineriniuose tinkluose, nuotekoms valyti, vandens gėlinimo procesuose, efektyviems vandenį taupantiems inžineriniams sprendiniams parinkti, potvynių prevencijai ir tvariai statybai įgyvendinti. Pažangiausių technologijų pritaikymas suteikia naudos žmonėms, valstybių institucijoms, vandentvarkos įmonėms ir ekosistemai.
Reikšminiai žodžiai: vandentvarka, nuotekų valymas, daiktų internetas, dirbtinis intelektas, vandens gėlinimas, tvari statyba, darni plėtra.
