Water Management includes four major processes, namely, estimating the amount of water readily available to be distributed, the measurement of the quality of water, distribution of water to different sectors of the city based on the quality and finally to provide a platform to monitor this distribution from anywhere and by anyone. All these processes, are currently treated as separate modules, but the integration of these four models, enhances water conservation and creates a social awareness since the proposed cloud platform can be accessed by everyone, and they are made aware, in advance, about the quality and amount of water they are going to get for the week, so that they can use the water wisely. In this paper we discuss our new and improved proposed model which not only integrates the existing four modules but also optimizes the distribution path based on algorithms for the fastest coverage. This is turn provides a short and concise solution to water management which is more user friendly and can reach more people, hence spreading more awareness. The lack of coordination between the current quality measurement and distribution system calls for an integrated system. This system predicts the rainfall to prepare the system for the amount of softener required to soften the water which acquires calcium and magnesium as it makes its way into other natural rivers. This water management system can be setup both on a small scale and a large scale. The smaller water management system setup in villages can be interconnected to make a larger water management system that can be centrally controlled from cities which helps in ensuring water distribution even in the smallest towns and villages.

The history and water-related features in the Poblet Cistercian Monastery, located in Tarragona province, Spain are described. The study is undertaken with the main purpose of obtaining data for the establishment of an integrated water management system inside the walls of the abbey, which is suffering water scarcity due to increasing demands and the prevalent semiarid conditions.

AbstractThe southern Lowland Maya hilltop center of Kinal is shown to be a human-modified watershed. The broad paved surfaces of the elevated central precinct acted as runoff-catchment areas directing precipitation into gravity-fed channels and reservoirs. In a geographical zone affected by an extended dry season and away from permanent water sources, Kinal demonstrates the components of a rainfall-dependent water-management system characteristic of other large sites in the region.
