Realising smarter stormwater management: A review of the barriers and a roadmap for real world application

A new paper in the Journal of Water Research provides a structured methodology for overcoming barriers to the effective management of stormwater systems.

The highlights include:

• Current implementation of internet-of-things enabled stormwater management systems is low.
• Barriers related to all elements of smarter stormwater management are identified systematically.
• Technical barriers are reducing, with increasing evidence of the efficacy of smart technologies.
• Socio-economic barriers remain a significant challenge.
• New roadmap provides a flexible and iterative approach to implement smart functionality.
