Abstract

This review underscores the escalating global research trend in this field since 2000. The primary scientific disciplines contributing to extensive research on smart water meters are engineering, computer science, and energy. In terms of countries, the analysis reveals that the United States, India, and China exhibit the highest scientific production. Concerning affiliations, prominent contributors include Griffith University, Politecnico di Milano, and the Università degli Studi di Salerno. Regarding worldwide research trends, an examination of distinct clusters defined by their principal keywords was conducted. The following clusters were identified in order of significance based on the number of publications: Urban Water Meters, IoT Connection, Communication and Security, Grid Management, Water Networks, Hot Water, Groundwater Monitoring, and Smart Irrigation. Of particular note is the growing use of machine learning applications, especially in the management of distribution networks. This trend opens up a promising avenue for addressing complex problems in real time.
