Abstract— Utilities such as power and water are the basic needs of today’s modern world, with increase in theft of such utilities serious challenges arises to urban environment. Economic losses, resource scarcity are some of the challenges. Advancement in Internet of Things (IoT) has introduced many innovative, scalable, and optimal solutions towards these problems. The designs of these solutions enable real time monitoring of data, automated detection of theft, alerting the users and analysis of consumer patterns. This review paper explores the various IoT-based technologies and methodologies developed to detect and mitigate power and water theft in urban infrastructure.
