<![CDATA[Permasalahan yang sering terjadi pada pipa distribusi air minum adalah kehilangan air. Kehilangan air mengurangi kualitas pelayanan dan pendapatan PDAM. Studi pustaka terhadap artikel ilmiah yang relevan menunjukkan adanya peluang penerapan pengendalian kehilangan air berbasis Internet of Things (IoT). Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi peluang dan tantangan penerapan IoT untuk pengendalian kehilangan air khususnya pada PDAM sebagai operator penyelenggara. IoT berpeluang mengendalikan kehilangan air melalui tiga cara yaitu manajemen tekanan, manajemen aset, dan mempercepat waktu tanggap saat terjadi kebocoran. Tantangan penerapan IoT pada PDAM di Indonesia berkaitan dengan kelembagaan dan pembiayaan PDAM, infrastruktur jaringan pendukung, kemanan data, serta ketidakakuratan dan kesalahan data. PDAM di Indonesia berpeluang menerapkan IoT namun hendaknya harus memperhatikan tantangan-tantangan yang telah dijabarkan pada penelitian ini. Kata kunci: Internet of Things (IoT), kehilangan air, PDAM. The problem that often occurs in water distribution pipes is water losses. The water losses reduce the service quality and the revenue of PDAM. The literature reviews of relevant scientific articles show that there are opportunities for implementing water losses control based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This study aims to identify the opportunities and the challenges of implementing IoT to control water losses at PDAM as an operator. The IoT has the opportunity to control water losses in three ways: pressure management; asset management; and accelerates the response time when a leak occurs. The challenges of implementing IoT at PDAM are related to the institutionalization and financing of PDAM; supporting network infrastructure; data security; and data inaccuracies and errors. PDAM in Indonesia has the opportunity to implement the IoT system, but they have to observe the possible challenges in this research. Keywords: Internet of Things (IoT), PDAM, water losses]]>
