Abstract
Optimizing the use of resources plays a significant role in the concept of development and functioning of smart cities. This especially applies to the rational consumption of energy and water use. At the same time, the application of information technologies, databases, optimization models and other techniques and technologies becomes indispensable for the implementation of the water management strategy and the preparation of information for decision-making in that area. In addition, the introduction of sensors and automated systems makes it possible to obtain the necessary data, to respond in a timely manner, and thereby improves the functioning of the city. This approach is applied in newly formed cities that have been built as smart cities since their foundation. Part of solutions is also current in already existing European cities, which will be analyzed in the work on the examples of several cities. The aim of this review and familiarization with different solutions is the potential application in Serbia, which would contribute to considering the possibility of creating resilient cities through rational management of water as a key resource of the future.
