Concepts of SWM
Next-Generation Intelligent Water Management System Maximizing Efficiency of Water Resources through the Integration of Entire Water Management processes with ICT
Smart Water Management (SWM) is an integrated water management model that ensures the stability, safety and efficiency of water by designing and operating a supply network-oriented Smart Water Grid while expanding the conventional water resource-oriented water management approach to all aspects of the entire water cycle.
Smart Water Management is a future-oriented water management strategy integrating and managing the entire process of the water cycle from analysis of current situations to purification, distribution, use and recycling of water resources scientifically and systematically.
Smart Water Management (SWM) will become a new paradigm which will lead to significant improvements in world water management practices by converging Korea's experienced water management know-hows with advanced information & communications technology.
