Innovative Approaches in Smart Hydrological Monitoring for Urban Water Resource Sustainability

This research addresses urgent challenges in urban water resource management due to escalating urbanization and climate change. The study aims to optimize water management, mitigate flood risks, and enhance distribution efficiency by employing smart technology in hydrological monitoring. The methodology involves a survey distributed to 150 respondents in five Indonesian cities, evaluating Smart Technology, Predictive Models, Water Resource Management, and Water Principles. Analysis with SmartPLS confirms measurement model reliability and validity. The findings highlight the significance of Smart Technology in influencing urban water resource management, supported by high T-Statistics and low P-values. In conclusion, integrating Smart Technology and Predictive Models enhances hydrological monitoring and optimizes water resource management in urban areas. This research contributes to sustainable development and urban water resilience, providing real-time information essential for achieving global water-related goals. Future research should focus on deeper integration between Smart Technology and Predictive Models and the effective incorporation of Water Principles into hydrological monitoring and water resource management.
