Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition System (SCADA) is a technology that covers supervision, control and data
collection. It allows remote monitoring and control of the entire system or part of it and processes information to generate
alarms, reports, graphs or other outputs necessary for operation and maintenance. In drinking water supply and distribution
systems, SCADA can monitor and control a wide range of equipment and processes, from the water source to the customer's
tap, including transmission pipes, treatment plants, tanks, and distribution networks. SCADA systems can also be used to
monitor and control wastewater and rainwater systems in the urban water cycle. The main purpose of this study is to
determine the use of SCADA systems in the water and sewerage administrations of our country's municipalities, to examine
their effectiveness and to offer suggestions to expand the scope. While carrying out the study, the activity reports,
performance programs and strategic plans of the metropolitan municipalities were examined and communication was
established with the authorized units of some metropolitan municipalities. Water and sewerage administrations using
SCADA systems were identified and the characteristics of these SCADA systems were explained. SCADA activities in
water and sewerage administrations were examined and the gains obtained by using SCADA systems were determined.
Suggestions have been presented to increase the effectiveness and expand the scope of using SCADA in water and sewerage
administrations.
