Harnessing the Power of Artificial Intelligence in Water Resources Management

Awais N. Malik

Abstract


This article explores the transformative impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on water resources management. With water scarcity, pollution, and climate change challenges on the rise, AI is emerging as a game-changer in tracking, forecasting, and optimizing water use. By analyzing vast datasets in real-time, AI empowers managers to make informed decisions, enhancing the preservation and efficient utilization of this essential resource. The article delves into AI's influence on data collection, real-time monitoring, water allocation, precision agriculture, leak detection, climate change modeling, and reservoir optimization. Challenges such as data quality and ethical considerations are also discussed, highlighting the need for collaboration between water experts, AI specialists, and local communities to harness AI's potential for a sustainable water future.
