Water shortage is the lack of fresh water resources to meet the standard water demand. Water is unequally distributed over time and space. A lot of it is wasted, polluted and unsustainably managed. Improving water infrastructure must be a priority, as water conservation and efficiency are key components of smart and sustainable water management. 50% of world population is going to be under high water shortage according to World Water Development (UN) report.[3] Countries of Africa and Asia like Bangladesh, China, and India who is still developing are likely to face water scarcity more. In developing countries like India, the gap in supply and demand of water is increasing and predominant. Although India has 16 per cent of the world’s population, the country possesses only four percent of the world’s freshwater resources. By 2050, at least 30 Indian cities will face a grave water risk, according to the WWF (World Wide Fund).[17] The problems range from poor management of water sources, contaminated supplies, leaky distribution networks and vast volumes of untreated wastewater being poured into India's rivers. The scarcity can be reduced or water supply system is being efficient by different governing systems under the smart city project by using Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA), Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Water Quality Monitoring (WQM). Hence the present study dealt with effective, efficient and smart water supply system, occurrence of water losses and its control.
