*5.2. Resilience Incorporation into Smart Water System*

The resilience concept has been incorporated into the traditional water distribution system, rainwater harvesting system, storm drainage system, and wastewater system in some papers and projects [99–102]. However, there are few papers discussing how to implement resilience in the smart water system. The smart water system needs to be resilient since it involves more recovery not only in physical components but also in the intelligent ones. In contrast to traditional water systems, a smart water system has more complex connections with automatic and online operations. Thus, the performance of SWS is determined by water, energy, and electricity availability. The necessity of incorporating resilience into the smart water system to evaluate their recovery ability and function efficiency are therefore very important. Incorporating the sub-resilience into the smart water micro-components would also be a better way to quantify the recovery capacity of the whole water system.
