Popis: This article discusses distributed monitoring through the deployment of various multiagents in the IoT-Fog-based water distribution network (WDN). This will ensure the right amount of water supplied with respect to demand forecasted to residents. In addition, underground pipe health is also monitored by means of a multiagent based on hydraulic parameters supplying water forecasted with minimal losses which would minimize the operational and material cost involved in recovery or repair. Lastly, there are agents deployed towards leakage monitoring and anti-theft detection of water. The multiagents act upon various parameters of hydrology and analysis is based on the data acquired by the various sensors deployed in the water distribution network which perform partial automation of the disconnection of the supply during extreme critical conditions.
