Abstract

Due to climatic conditions and limited water resources, we need purposeful and intelligent management. Changes in precipitation and temperature, changes in water levels of wells and groundwater, runoff management are of great importance. Due to the asphalt of a large area of ​​roads in the city and the consequent impenetrability of roads, runoff and floods in cities have increased, which in addition to causing damage such as flooding of roads causes a large volume of water out of reach. Be. Rising flood damage over the past decade has revealed the lack of an intelligent way to manage the crisis, as well as to store rainwater under normal conditions. Green infrastructures in the city are very efficient. Such infrastructures can help reduce floods and water pollution by absorbing and filtering rainwater runoff. Also, they increase the green space and the beauty of the landscape. The Internet of Things is an innovation with the help of sensors such as temperature, proximity, speed, intensity, humidity to control the surface water network. Using the Internet of Things, coding is guided by built-in sensors such as motion, humidity, pressure, and air quality. These systems remove the pressure from nature and the current water and sewage system, thus resulting in productivity and cost reduction. Managed CO2 reduction, water storage, greenhouse gas reduction, and urban adaptation and resilience in the face of climate change will increase the quality of citizens and protect the region's ecosystem.
