# Real-Time Monitoring and Management

* **IoT Integration:** The ecosystem utilises a wide array of Internet of Things (IoT) devices and sensors strategically placed throughout the water infrastructure. These devices continuously collect real-time data on various aspects of water quality and supply, ensuring timely and accurate monitoring.
* **Water Quality Sensors:** These include pH, turbidity, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, chlorine, and temperature sensors, actively used to monitor and ensure water quality.
* **Water Flow and Volume Sensors:** Flow metres, ultrasonic flow sensors, and pressure sensors are essential for monitoring distribution systems.
* **Water Level Sensors:** Utilising ultrasonic level sensors, radar level sensors, and float switches to monitor reservoir and tank levels.
* **Leak Detection Sensors:** Implementing acoustic sensors and pressure drop sensors to detect leaks in the distribution network.
* **Smart Metres**: Deployed for detailed consumer usage data in residential, commercial, and industrial settings.
* **Environmental Sensors:** Weather stations and soil moisture sensors are integrated into the water management system for comprehensive environmental monitoring.
* **Infrastructure Monitoring Sensors:** Vibration sensors and corrosion sensors track the structural integrity and health of pipelines.
* **Blockchain Security:** The data collected by IoT devices is securely transmitted and recorded on a blockchain network. Blockchain technology ensures that all data entries are immutable and transparent, preventing tampering or unauthorised access. This secure and decentralised approach builds trust among stakeholders, as they can verify the integrity of the data at any time.
