ITU‐T's Technical Reports and Specifications 515 Figure 7 – Schematic representation of smart water management technologies and tools As illustrated in Figure 7, SWM technologies often overlap a series of functionalities that are key for the effective operation of urban water systems. The following section will explore in more detail the role of each of these technologies, and their contribution to SWM. 4.1 SWM technologies Smart water Management technologies are currently applied to many different areas of water management, as illustrated in Figure 8.
