Smart water utilities : : complexity made simple / / Pernille Ingildsen and Gustaf Olsson.

Today there is increasing pressure on the water infrastructure and although unsustainable water extraction and wastewater handling can continue for a while, at some point water needs to be managed in a way that is sustainable in the long-term. We need to handle water utilities "smarter". N...
