Enhancing Urban Water Distribution: The Role of Automated Systems and PLC Applications

Due to the increase in population accompanied by the expansive growth of urban residential areas, the demand for efficient and reliable water distribution systems has increased rapidly. And as urbanisation increases day by day this demand for water is equal to the need for sustainable water management and distribution systems. Thus, it becomes an utmost necessity for the implementation of proper controlling and monitoring mechanisms to prevent wastage of water and also attempts of water theft. As a solution to these challenges, many advanced technologies have been identified all over the world to ensure effective distribution of water to reach every household especially in urban areas. Therefore, my paper estimates and understands the current state of automated water distribution systems with a prime focus on monitoring performance and control through PLC (programmable logic controller) applications. In the initial areas of this paper, it focuses on the basic concept of automatic water distribution that has been implemented in the current scenario in urban areas. This study includes thorough research on the details of the system, how it is operated, its principles, and intended functions. The next stage of research will be focussed on a comparative analysis of various technologies that have been studied and implemented in the field of automated water distribution. This paper shows key innovations, challenges and future goals in the realm of automated water distribution. It also shows the possibility for the integration of PLC systems, discussing how efficiently these systems contribute to the optimization of the water distribution process. Thus, proving PLC systems plays a crucial role in improving the overall performance and sustainability of water distribution systems by monitoring real-time data.
