The document describes a SCADA system for monitoring and controlling a water distribution system. A SCADA system consists of a master system that communicates with remote terminal units to gather data on parameters like pressure, temperature, and water density. This allows for optimized functioning of the water distribution system. SCADA systems are regularly implemented in water industries to improve maintenance and ensure reliable and secure water supply to customers. The document discusses SCADA basics, components, architecture, evolution, applications, and concludes that SCADA technology reduces errors caused by humans in industrial monitoring and control.
