| Abstract |
Wastewater management is a mechanism that is used to extract and refine pollutants from wastewater or drainage that can be recycled to the water supply with minimal environmental effects. New methods and techniques are required to ensure safe and smart wastewater management systems in smart cities because of the present deteriorating environmental state. Wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) represent promising wastewater treatment technologies. The elaborated literature survey formulates a conceptual framework with an Internet of Things (IoT)-based wastewater management system in smart cities (IoT-WMS) using blockchain technology. Blockchain technology is now being used to store information to develop an incentive model for encouraging the reuse of wastewater. Concerning the quality and quantity of recycled wastewater, tokens are issued to households/industries in smart cities. Nevertheless, this often encourages tampering with the information from which these tokens are awarded to include certain rewards. Anomaly detector algorithms are used to identify the possible IoT sensor data which has been tampered with by intruders. The model employs IoT sensors together with quality metrics to measure the amount of wastewater produced and reused. The simulation analysis shows that the proposed method achieves a high wastewater recycling rate of 96.3%, an efficiency ratio of 88.7%, a low moisture content ratio of 32.4%, an increased wastewater reuse of 90.8%, and a prediction ratio of 92.5%. |
