Abstract:
Numerous fast-developing techniques such as Building Information Modelling (BIM) and Geographical
Information System (GIS) are implemented in the construction industry to meet sustainability goals. BIM
is a single platform that integrates different tools and practices to create the digital representation of the
multiple stages of the project. BIM technology was utilized for various projects related to smart water
management and smart city development, integrating GIS and remote sensing technology like Light
Detection and Ranging (LiDAR). Integrated technology makes it possible to cover the entire field,
incorporating geospatial information and real site situations. Water management in urban areas is critical
due to the absence of management and water infrastructure. The main objective of this study is to
elaborate on the existing water management practices and tools through the literature study. The
bibliometric analysis gives the author’s relationship and technological growth in integrating BIM, GIS,
LiDAR, and countless applications. This review proposes a framework model by uniting various
methodologies and techniques to create a sustainable water management system. The suggested
framework model would help to achieve the long-term sustainability goals for the water management
system
