IoT Water Hub
Connecting Water to Smarter Solutions
ARC Research Hub in the IoT for Water
From Sensors to Solutions — Smarter Water Begins Here
Good decisions start with good information. Our hub helps you collect, view, and share water data without needing special technical skills. Everything works smoothly — devices connect automatically, data updates live, and you can check results from anywhere. It’s a simple, flexible system built to support projects of any size, from small field sites to wide-area monitoring networks.
Research Themes
+
Theme 1
Sensors, Placement & Operation
Advance promising sensor technologies along the TRL pathway for quicker industry implementation while minimizing operational costs and risks through non-contact sensing and optimized deployment strategies.
+
Theme 2
Networks, Data, Security, Governance and Standards
Researching and testing wireless data collection, transmission, and storage methods, while exploring governance models and standards to guide IoT water system operations.
+
Theme 3
Advanced Analysis and Visualisation of Integrated Datasets
Researching advanced analytical methodologies and develop models to help validate, interpret and visualise integrated datasets. We will design a digital twin platform, empowering decision-makers to conduct simulations and enabling fully informed scenario-based planning and asset optimization
+
Theme 4
Asset Control, Optimisation and Decision Making
Developing novel RTC strategies that leverage advancements in sensors, data management, and visualization tools to optimize decision-making and achieve truly integrated water outcomes.
+
Theme 5
Business Models and Engaged Communities
Developing new business models, investment strategies, and participatory incentive structures to transform how water services are provided; research community benefits, trust, and engagement, facilitating a future where citizens and businesses have greater stakes and responsibilities in water resource management.
