The numerous positive experiences from the use of the smart system for remote reading of drinking water serve as an incentive to analyze the possibility of applying the smart system in the Republic of North Macedonia. For this purpose, both the existing and the smart system were analyzed, with the most appropriate criteria being selected, both qualitative and quantitative, based on various practical and scientific findings. Each of the systems is described through all the established criteria, after which a comparative analysis of these two quantity quantity quantity drinking water metering systems was carried out, and the benefits of applying the smart system for measuring drinking water were determined.
