The number and topics of the papers in the SI confirm the growing interest of operators and researchers for the new paradigm of smart networks, as part of the more general smart city. The SI showed that digital information and communication technology (ICT), with the implementation of smart meters and other digital devices, can significantly improve the modelling and the management of urban water networks, contributing to a radical transformation of the traditional paradigm of water utilities. The paper collection in this SI includes different crucial topics such as the reliability, resilience, and performance of water networks, innovative demand management, and the novel challenge of real-time control and operation, along with their implications for cyber-security. The SI collected fourteen papers that provide a wide perspective of solutions, trends, and challenges in the contest of smart urban water networks. Some solutions have already been implemented in pilot sites (i.e., for water network partitioning, cyber-security, and water demand disaggregation and forecasting), while further investigations are required for other methods, e.g., the data-driven approaches for real time control. In all cases, a new deal between academia, industry, and governments must be embraced to start the new era of smart urban water systems.Technology: general issuesbicsschydraulic modellingpressure control valvepressure managementremote real-time controlstochastic consumptionwater distribution systemfault identificationhydraulic transientinverse transient analysis (ITA)water distribution networkoptimization approachwater distribution monitoringoptimal sensor placementwater network partitioningtopological centralitysmart water systemframeworksmartnesscyber wellnessleakagesensitivityuncertaintyentropymulti-criteria decision-makingDEMATELclusteringdistrict metered areanetwork sectorizationsmart citywater quality monitoringInternet of Thingswireless sensor networkswater treatment plantdata analyticsnitratenitritewater demand forecastinghybrid modelerror correctionchaotic time seriesleast square support vector machinecross-correlationdata spatial aggregationfinite population effectmeteringsample meansampling designstandard errorstochastic analysiswater demand peak factorwater distribution networkscomparative analysishydraulic measuremulti-criteria decision analysis (MCDA)reliability indexwater distribution network (WDN)smart stormwatermachine learningcluster analysisdata scienceflooding detectionrainwater harvestingwater tradingdual reticulationdecentralized water supplyagent-based modelingurban water managementurban water consumptionwater demand datawater data accessibilitydata resolutionsmart metersmart water systemscyber-physical securitycyber-securitycyber-physical attackswater distribution systemscyber-attack detectionblind sources separationFastICATechnology: general issuesCreaco Enricoedt1281245Di Nardo ArmandoedtBoccelli Dominic LedtHerrera ManueledtCominola AndreaedtTaormina RiccardoedtSitzenfrei RobertedtCreaco EnricoothDi Nardo ArmandoothBoccelli Dominic LothHerrera ManuelothCominola AndreaothTaormina RiccardoothSitzenfrei RobertothBOOK9910557333303321Smart Urban Water Networks3035238UNINA
