Abstract

Water professionals play a critical role in the digital transformation of the water sector through a fair, sustainable, equitable, and integrated manner. Artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) and Internet of Things (IoT) can aid in the management of water resources by using algorithms, regression models, and data analytics. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations requires decision-makers to recognize, quantify, and communicate the value of water in order to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite the acceleration of Malaysia’s digital water journey over the past two decades, we still need to address significant water concerns such as rising urbanization, flood mitigation, water shortages, climate change, and ageing infrastructure to accelerate this progress comprehensively. This paper is aim to explores how AI, ML, and IoT technologies can transform water management by enhancing monitoring, optimizing treatment, reducing waste, and ensuring sustainable supply. It reviews innovative applications, addressing urbanization challenges and supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By integrating water according to usage with digital control, we can enable data-driven models that can help integrate and optimize smart pumps, valves, sensors, and actuators, thereby offering diversity and adaptability through digitalization.. The three elements energy, food, and water are essential at our current pace of consumption and expansion, a shortage of water might halt the supply of food and energy and halt economic growth. Using a digital strategy that is both actionable and adhered to must be put in place that emphasis on business needs and convey the advantages and quick payback to establish a connection between the strategies supporting outcomes and the digital technology investment.
