THE FUTURE OF LANGUAGE AND COMMUNICATION IN SMART HYDROTECHNICAL INFRASTRUCTURE

With improvement in hydrotechnical facilities to accommodate intelligent technologies, communication dynamics within the systems also undergo a fundamental transformation. From automated control systems and human-machine interfaces to interdisciplinary coordination among engineers, environmental scientists, and policy planners, effective usage of language and communication techniques becomes a deciding factor in the efficiency of such hi-tech systems. This paper addresses the language and communication contribution to the development and operation of intelligent hydrotechnical infrastructure, referring to the impact of technical vocabularies, machine-readable data structures, artificial intelligence-based decision-making, and multi-lingual collaboration. On the basis of current practices and future developments, we provide an adaptive communication strategy framework for the era of intelligent water management systems.
