  Nidhi C Pandya,  Dr.Reena Popawala

The primary element of an urban water distribution system is to satisfy water supply demand with desired standard quality. Due to rapid urbanization and water scarcity, maintaining a stable and safe water supply has become a challenge to many cities. The problems like inadequate supply of water with low pressure, pipe burst, excessive leakage and non revenue water are increasing exponentially. To overcome these challenges, Smart water system is needed which provides fast and accurate methods and technology to manage water distribution infrastructure efficiently. In this paper efforts are made to review various software to manage water distribution infrastructure and some modernized water supply system which are using advance technology and software to handle large amount of data, mapping of water distribution network, improve efficiency of system, reducing maintenance-operation cost and prioritizing repair or rehabilitation by decision supportive system.
