Real-time water quality monitoring has proven to be an essential tool for strengthening water governance and improving water resources management strategies. This article presents a systematic review of automated monitoring practices in different countries, analyzing methodologies for data collection, calibration, and processing. Searches were conducted in scientific databases and governmental institutional portals, focusing on experiences from the United States, Canada, the European Union, Australia, Singapore, and Brazil. The analysis revealed varying levels of technological maturity among the studied countries, with the most advanced systems integrating real-time measurements with predictive models and automatic alerts. In Brazil, specific advances have been achieved, although the lack of national protocols for calibration and data integration remains a challenge. It is concluded that strengthening monitoring infrastructure and adopting standardized protocols are essential to enhance data reliability and support more effective water management decisions.
