information from these scattered sources into a comprehensive and easily accessible
knowledge body.
Internet of Things in Sewer and Drainage Systems is split into four parts: Novel
Se
wer Overflow Sensing Techniques; Underground Antenna and Radio Interface
Technologies in Sewer Systems; Internet of Things Advancements in Sewer Sys-
tems; Wireless Applications in Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) and Storm Water
Management (SWM) Systems; and Physical Layer for Wireless Communications.
It starts by introducing emerging technologies in wastewater systems including
wireless communications in layered medium before moving on to cover propagation
models in pipelines, soil properties, and beyond. Chapters introduce the work in
sensor systems, antenna arrays, and MIMO; capacity and path loss analysis; and
empirical and statistical channel models in smart wireless technology for the effec-
tive management of combined sewer overflows. It investigates how underground
sensors and antenna design; cross layer and environment-aware protocol design;
and energy harvesting and power transfer are enabling innovations in sewer and
drainage systems. This valuable resource:
• Provides a comprehensive reference for all aspects of sewer and drainage systems
• Focuses on fundamental applications of digital technologies of sewer system
management
in an easy language that is understandable by a wide audience
• Includes applications of Internet of Things technologies to assess condition of
the
sewer mains, manholes, and surface facilities
• Features on research developments and open research challenges in subsurface
sensing
in combined sewer overflows (CSO)
• Includes advanced treatment of IoT custom applications in preventive mainte-
nance
of sanitary sewers
• Provides a detailed set of path loss, antenna, and wireless underground channel
measurements
in novel storm drains and sanitary sewers testbeds
• Provides MATLAB programs for models and analysis for download
• Finally, draws these studies together and points to future developments.
The graduate students, wastewater technicians, academic researchers, sanitary
engineers,
industry professionals and mangers, superintendents, and environmental
specialist will need and buy Internet of Things in Sewer and Drainage Systems.
There are many such individuals in academia and sewer system management
business, which is mostly targeted to the applications of technology in big and small
sanitary systems. Moreover, the use of digital technology in diverse topographic
sewer and drainage fields is also expanding. To effectively utilize enormous data
being generated from the wastewater overflow monitoring systems, this book has
introduced technologies which are useful for data collection, design of decision
tools, interpretation, and real-time decision making in the field. The IEEE Societies
which are potential buyers of the books are IEEE Communications Society, IEEE
Antennas and Propagation Society, IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Electromagnetic
Compatibility Society, IEEE Information Theory Society, IEEE Instrumentation
and Measurement Society, IEEE Signal Processing Society, IEEE Sensors Council,
IEEE Systems Council, IEEE Civil Engineering Society, IEEE Geoscience and
