Preface
This book approaches the topic of “water systems” from the perspective of systems engineering and automation technology. Why is it worthwhile to devote an entire book to this approach? Currently, the efficient use of water resources is rapidly gaining importance in all parts of the world. The drivers of this development are diverse. Here it is worth mentioning the rapid economic growth in some parts of the world, e.g. in Asia and the increasing trend towards urbanization, which is most apparent in the growth of existing and in the emergence of new megacities. The contributions of the climatic changes with the intensification of extremes, such as floods and droughts are also important. These challenges require undoubtedly interdisciplinary efforts of politicians, scientists, and technicians. A contribution can therefore be made by technologies that support people in making decisions relating to the operation of water systems and in dealing with special situations or automatically control the water systems. Due to the often very high complexity of the
