El monitoreo en tiempo real de la calidad del agua se ha mostrado como una herramienta esencial para fortalecer la gobernanza hídrica y mejorar las estrategias de gestión de los recursos hídricos. Este artículo presenta una revisión sistemática sobre las prácticas de monitoreo automatizado en distintos países, analizando metodologías de recolección, calibración y tratamiento de datos. Se realizaron búsquedas en bases científicas y en portales de instituciones gubernamentales, con énfasis en experiencias de Estados Unidos, Canadá, la Unión Europea, Australia, Singapur y Brasil. Se observó que los países analizados poseen diferentes niveles de madurez tecnológica, siendo que los sistemas más avanzados integran mediciones en tiempo real con modelos de predicción y alertas automáticas. En Brasil se identificaron avances puntuales, pero aún existe ausencia de protocolos nacionales de calibración e integración de datos. Se concluye que fortalecer la infraestructura de monitoreo y adoptar protocolos estandarizados es fundamental para ampliar la confiabilidad de la información y respaldar decisiones más eficaces en la gestión de los recursos hídricos.
