Smart Water Solution
Water utilities are under pressure from growing demand, water stress, increasing power costs and aging water systems. The growing demand is due to increase in population, rural to urban migration and industrial activities, and to overcome these challenges smart city technologies have been identified as a measure to optimise the management of urban resources including water and energy.
Smart cities encompass six important sectors that need to work in unison to achieve a common goal of making a city more liveable, sustainable and efficient for its residents. These sectors are smart energy, smart integration, smart public services, smart mobility, smart buildings, and Smart Water.
We believe that this will improve the efficiency of water distribution, water network management, geographical information system, water payment network, MIS & data analytics for efficient billing management and improved customer service and enablement.
Residents can expect clean drinking water supply with a planned supply, unified portal to access services with a personalised profile-based mobile app which will act as one-stop app and gateway to enable two-way citizen engagement.
The water supply sector is confronted by changing drivers in the sustainable management of urban water. Recovering costs, monitoring non-revenue water, timely supply of water in terms of quality and quantity and meeting customer demands for equity in billing in the face of rising water prices are some of the major challenges.
The challenge to achieve sustainable urban water management has become a goal of strategic planning for water utilities. In this regard, intelligent water metering offers the potential to transform urban water management as it enables the determination, in real-time or near real-time, of water consumption, and provides the possibility to read consumption both locally and remotely.
