Abstract
In the context of global climate change, with the increasing frequency and severity of extreme events—such as draughts and floods—which will likely make water demand more uncertain and jeopardise its availability, those in charge of water system management face new operational challenges because of increasing resource scarcity, intensive energy requirements, growing populations (especially in urban areas), costly and ageing infrastructures, increasingly stringent regulations, and rising attention towards the environmental impact of water use. The shift from a linear to a circular economy and the need for a transition to a low-carbon production system represents an opportunity to address these emerging challenges related to water, energy, and the efficient use of resources. These challenges impel network managers to improve their methods and techniques for the monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis, supervision, and optimisation of the performance of water-related systems to adhere to the current sustainability agenda.
