Presenting a new location model for smart facilities covered by water and wastewater companies in Iran (Case study: Tehran Water and Wastewater Company)

Despite the focus on smart water management in the water and wastewater sector of Iran, little attention has been paid to the site-selection their implementation. Furthermore, despite the huge investments made, the neglect of this issue has undermined their effectiveness. Therefore, this study seeks to provide a new approach to locating smart facilities under the auspices of Iranian Water and wastewater Companies (with the focus on Tehran Water and Wastewater Company) and to explain the model for their establishment at the national level. Accordingly, after prioritizing risk management in the discussion of locating the establishment of intelligent management systems of water facilities (resulting from Thematic analysis), while examining the uncertainties in the Monte Carlo analysis, the scenario analysis method in the first step, the fault tree method and calculation of Byrnbaum index in the second step and the bow tie model has been used to develop a smart model of water supply process and verify the realization of its implementation in the final step to identify the most basic place for the establishment of smart water management systems.
