自过去几年以来，智慧城市模式一直在影响可持续的城市水资源管理。最终用户的智能计量方案已成为水务公司深入了解城市用水的重要策略。除了减少某些劳动力成本，如与手动抄表阅读相关的劳动力成本，这种详细和连续的信息流据说可以提高网络效率，并通过更详细的需求模式和预测来改善水规划。在澳大利亚等国，以这些举措为重点的研究非常多产。然而，学术界对智能电表在其他地区的发展关注较少。本文重点介绍智能水表在西班牙，更具体地说，文件和反映的经验，城市的阿利坎特（西班牙东南部），一个先驱的情况下，大规模部署远程阅读水表在家庭层面和大型城市客户。通过数据和对自来水公司水资源管理人员的采访，我们揭示了该技术的成本和早期效益，以及潜力和（意想不到的）问题，以促进更可持续的城市水循环。
Since the past few years, the smart city paradigm has been influencing sustainable urban water resources management. Smart metering schemes for end users have become an important strategy for water utilities to have an in-depth and fine-grained knowledge about urban water use. Beyond reducing certain labor costs, such as those related to manual meter reading, such detailed and continuous flow of information is said to enhance network efficiency and improve water planning by having more detailed demand patterns and forecasts. Research focusing on those initiatives has been very prolific in countries such as Australia. However, less academic attention has been paid to the development of smart metering in other geographies. This paper focuses on smart water metering in Spain and, more particularly, documents and reflects on the experience of the city of Alicante (southeastern Spain), a pioneer case of massive deployment of remote reading of water meters at the household level and for large urban customers. Through data and interviews with water managers from the water utility, we shed light on the costs and early benefits, as well as the potentialities and (unexpected) problems of this technology to contribute to more sustainable urban water cycles.
