Implementing a Semi-Automated, Real-Time Pressure Monitoring System for Smart Water Management: An Assessment on Operational and Management Impacts
Abstract
Transformational change in the management of the Philippines' water utility sector, particularly among small-scale providers, both government-controlled and private, is hinged on the integration of technology into pressure monitoring systems. This approach enables proactive water utility management, particularly in the reduction of water losses. It is essential for all water utilities, regardless of their scale, to monitor and manage pressure with the goal to ensure that the local communities have access to water. Real-time monitoring can be obtained by existing solutions, such as SCADA, but these solutions are inaccessible to many small water providers due to the costly prices. Hence, this research will address the gap by developing a semi-automated real-time pressure monitoring system as a cost-effective alternative for utilities with limited resources, rather than a replacement for existing high-end systems. The research seeks to empower managers and engineers in the water utility sector by implementing innovative technologies that are based on a system that was created using Microsoft Excel and AppSheet. This technology provides small water utilities the capability to assess and supervise their operations, as well as to develop strategic plans to improve service reliability, without necessitating substantial capital investments. The system’s usability and its impact on operational decision-making were evaluated through structured assessments, including usability surveys, performance monitoring, and statistical analysis.
