The Smart Water has been a part of the Internet of Things (IoT) which evolves drastically and their involvement in the Smart Home make it a complete infrastructure. Smart Water is a term commonly used to define an automatic water quality monitoring system that is capable of measuring pH and turbidity value through sensor by using Smart Devices. The importance of Smart Water is the way of its data, such as pH and turbidity value will be presented to users. The way of data presentation can be varied depends on the platform that used by users and roles. This paper is based on the comparison made on the data presentation types used in Smart Water technology. Data presentation types such as scorecard and dashboard are compared based on research result to show their relevancy towards real-time data presentation and interactive to human in the Smart Water environment. Critical evolution towards data presentation types shows that dashboard is suitable in order to achieve real-time data presentation and interactive data visualization to human which help in data analysis and decision making. This paper, then discusses the implementation of the data visualization in the Smart Water testbed. The Smart Water testbed specifically developed to test data visualization in real time.
