Fig. 2: The general platform for smarter water applications.

The diagram shows the two main phases of the smarter water applications; the colors stand for the two phases (yellow = Nowcasting (Sensors) phase, and orange = Forecasting (Modeling) phase). The nowcasting (Sensors) phase has three main components (yellow color = space component, orange color = time component, and pistachio color = frequency component). The forecasting (Modeling) phase has three main scales (yellow color = local scale, pistachio color = regional scale, and green color = globals cale).
