Despite an increased application of numerical tools by water utilities, the digital transformation of the water sector is lagging behind other sectors. In this publication, some of the most extended applications of big data analytics and artificial intelligence-related algorithms in water supply are discussed, along with recommendations for implementation and preliminary cost estimates.10Artificial intelligence and automationInformation and communications technologyWaterWater supply
