Description


Blockchain and the Water Supply Chain explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in ensuring sustainable, transparent and efficient water governance. Placing water at the center of smart infrastructure innovation, the book addresses the urgent need for trustworthy and traceable systems in the distribution and management of water resources.

This book also delves into how blockchain can revolutionize the water supply chain through decentralized monitoring, smart contracts and immutable data records to reduce losses, enhance accountability and enable real-time decision making. It analyzes key challenges such as interoperability, scalability and regulatory hurdles, while also showcasing innovative use cases and pilot projects across the globe. With contributions from experts in water management, blockchain and environmental policy, this book bridges the gap between digital innovation and sustainable resource management, and is an essential guide for researchers, policymakers and technologists aiming to reshape the future of water systems.
