Introduction: The World’s Water Dilemma Water is the world’s most critical resource — yet also the most mismanaged. With rising urbanization, erratic climate patterns, and surging industrial demand, the challenge of balancing water availability with consumption has never been more pressing, it is clear that traditional approaches are no longer enough. Blowers, Di users, and chemical dosing systems continue to consume massive resources but deliver diminishing returns, creating bottlenecks that stall true progress. Today, Big Data has emerged as the game-changer in optimizing water resources, enabling policymakers, industries, and communities…
