Artificial Intelligence and Water Quality: Smart Monitoring, Real-Time Data, and Policy Solutions for Freshwater Ecosystems

How can Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolutionize the way we monitor, protect, and manage freshwater ecosystems?As climate change, pollution, and growing demand place unprecedented stress on global water resources, new technologies are urgently needed to monitor water quality in real time, predict risks, and guide smarter decisions. Artificial Intelligence and Water Quality is the essential guide for understanding how AI can be applied-ethically, effectively, and at scale-to safeguard freshwater systems. Written for professionals in water management, sustainability, environmental science, and policy, this book explores how AI tools such as machine learning, remote sensing, and edge computing are transforming data collection, analysis, and decision-making across rivers, lakes, and watersheds. You will learn how AI is used to: Monitor water quality using smart sensors and IoT networksDetect pollution events and support real-time early warning systemsProcess satellite and drone imagery for basin-wide assessmentsIntegrate with decision-support systems to optimize interventionsDemocratize water monitoring through citizen science and mobile appsEnsure transparency, accountability, and equity in AI deploymentFrom building trustworthy models to scaling basin-wide solutions, this book connects technical innovation with governance, ethics, and sustainability. Whether you are a policymaker, environmental consultant, researcher, or technology innovator, this book offers actionable insights and future-focused strategies for using AI in service of clean water and resilient freshwater ecosystems.
