Abstract
In global water arena, a consensus had been emerged that urban water management urgently calls for smart solutions in order to adapt to climate change. The ways our society is managing water resources are clearly in need of innovation and experimentation, but on the other hand call for reinstatement of traditional knowledge based on locally developed practices of water use. This paper describes a smart water system as a system that implements meaningful data and transforms it into actionable intelligence, but in the same time as a system build upon traditional knowledge. Transect coding is used as research method, to answer the question, how to smartly manage urban water systems at different scales and in different type of urbanized landscape.
