Abstract

A distributed and decentralized smart water storage and trading platform based on blockchain technology for sustainable water supply has been demonstrated in this work. Users in the platform are able to share water resources by selling off or buying in the amount of water that they need. All transactions performed on the blockchain are highly secured and tamper resistance owing to the distributed, decentralized, and immutable features readily available in the Symbol blockchain. This makes the transactions more reliable and cost effective as third party involvement in the verification of users and transactions become redundant. Water is asset tokenized in which users can transact the required amount of water using token without any transaction fee. Cost saving is achieved because a transaction fee is only applicable when the token is exchanged with the Symbol XYM and then converted to conventional currency. Besides, the exchange rate between the token and Symbol XYM can be dependent on the demand and supply of the water instead of a single entity.
