Cities instrument pipes, roads and cars with sensors and combine geospatial, weather and flow data to run new analytics; Washington DC deploys the District of Columbia Water and Sewer Authority system to monitor underground flow and detect problems. IBM reports acquiring $14 billion of analytics to build predictive routines that fuse sewer, weather and traffic data. Examples include smart‑meter tweaks that cut outages to one hour during a 70‑day 100°F heatwave and dynamic parking and routing systems that reduce duplication and waste.
