Access to safe and reliable water supply is a fundamental human right. However, many urban
areas in developing countries, including Ilorin Metropolitan City, face significant challenges in
providing effective water supply services. The development of a resilient water supply
infrastructural ICT model is critical for addressing these challenges.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in water supply services has
gained significant attention in recent years. ICTs have the potential to transform water supply
services by improving efficiency, reducing costs, and enhancing customer satisfaction. This
literature review aims to provide an overview of the current state of research on ICTs in water
supply services, highlighting the benefits, challenges, and future directions.

Literature Review
2.1 ICTs in Water Supply Services.

ICTs have the potential to transform water supply services by improving efficiency, reducing
costs, and enhancing customer satisfaction. Studies have shown that ICTs can be used in water
supply sector such as to monitor water quality, detect leakages, and optimize water distribution
networks (Kumar et al., 2018; Mutikanga et al., 2011) giving a reliable and effective water
management system.
2.1.1 The use of ICTs in Water Supply Services.

a. Monitoring Water Quality.

ICTs can be used to monitor water quality in real-time, enabling water utilities to quickly detect
and respond to changes in water quality. For example, Kumar et al. (2018) developed a wireless
sensor network-based system for monitoring water quality in real-time. The system used
sensors to collect data on water quality parameters such as pH, turbidity, and bacterial
contamination. The data was then transmitted to a central server for analysis and decision-
making.

b. Leakage Detection and Water Loss Management.

ICTs can also be used to detect leakages and manage water losses in water distribution
networks. Mutikanga et al. (2011) developed a decision support system for leakage detection
and water loss management. The system used a combination of sensors, GIS, and machine
learning algorithms to detect leakages and predict water losses. The system was tested in a
pilot study and showed promising results, with a leak detection accuracy of 90%.

c. Optimizing Water Distribution Networks.

ICTs can be used to optimize water distribution networks, reducing energy consumption and
improving water pressure. For example, a study by the International Water Association (IWA)
found that the use of ICTs in water distribution networks can reduce energy consumption by up
to 20% (IWA, 2019).
