The Waste Water as a Source of Information for the Urban Agglomerations Management

Abstract

This paper presents a clear relationship between agglomeration, smart cities and waste management in Slovak republic. The main contribution of this work is to investigate the relationship between smart cities management and the wastewater coming from the households to waste water treatment plant. It has been shown that the gathered information from the waste water is very useful for identifying the locations of pollution caused by medicaments and drugs in a city. We provide a brief overview of smart cities, followed by statistical information about world's population and the population of cities within Slovak republic. Moreover, the key information about the locations and the times of pollution is briefly discussed. Exploiting the network theory and the tree data structure used in this work, enables one to localize the collection points and to create the infrastructure for automatized collection of data. Compared to previous work, we identify the pollution points more effectively and more economically. Therefore, this makes the solution attractive for criminology of drug distribution points in the city. Subsequently, it leads to cleaner, safer and more environmentally friendly cities.
