Water is a vital resource for life, and for the economy. Nowadays, one of the most serious challenges to solve and manage the water scarcity. With the depletion of water resources, the demand for quality water is increasing day by day. Water utilities are under pressure to provide good quality water, but are struggling with their outdated infrastructure at the same time. Furthermore, one of the major concerns of water utilities is the increasing wastage and pollution of water bodies caused due to metering errors, leaks, pipe bursts, and industrial waste. To manage all these issues, water utilities have to come up with smart water management solutions and techniques.

IoT may be used in potable water monitoring tools to monitor the quality of tap water in all government owned education institutes and public places. It should be applied in real-time detection of leakages and wastes of factories in rivers and other natural water bodies. It can also be used in monitoring of water level variations in rivers, dams and reservoirs, for proactive disaster management.

Smart water management is the combination of smart hardware, smart solutions, and smart services integrated together to minimize wastage and optimize the utilization. Intelligent use of information and analytics can be leveraged to deliver improved outcomes across the water management lifecycle.

With the help of this discussion platform we request you to share your valuable inputs on how IOT can be used in:

• Demand Forecasting and Allocation of water resources
• Water Quality Testing
• Infrastructure Management
• Improve Preparedness and Response to water management system

Your suggestions on the above topics will help us to make an integrated view and plan of action for Smart Water development by applying IoT and analytics.

I am a graduate and post graduate from IIT Delhi. I have a dynamic plan for solid waste management in cities, which can reduce waste of entire city in minimum time. I have worked in cement consultancy for two years. During my stint in the industry, I did extensive research on the subject of alternate fuels in cement industry. During my research I found out that lime kiln of cement industry operates at a temperature of 1400 degree celsius and at that temperature all fuels turn into gas.

Sir, water from rivers can be directed by construction of canals towards areas with water shortages. Rainwater harvesting should be implemented at household level and if possible at all government offices. Hilly areas should be used to store water collected during monsoons by creating storage ponds into the natural terrain and most important of all, cut down on water usgae

Respected Sir, I have a suggestion that when the monsoon season starts in Maharashtra and other states facing drought, Cloud seeding should be started from the beginning itself when there are rain clouds, irrespective of whether it is already raining. This is highly essential to ensure a good rainfall. It should continue throughout the monsoon. It should be taken as a preventive measure, rather than as a cure.

The major challenge in water preservation is evaporation. I.e. there are ponds and lakes and dams where the water just get evoportated. What if there are floating solar panel connected in series. This will help in reducing evaporation and at the same time generate clean electricity. This will also help in increasing ground water level. Every village where there is a pond will able to generate its own need. Give employment to youths

An important act is to control water, measure its usage and create diversions where possible. A UK company, Cyan of Cambridge facilitates wireless linkages for water meters over long distances at low cost. Once it is established water flow, flood risks and possible diversions you can map out where you want water to go. Nothing is easy and it is going to take a lot of planning.

sir,ideas to dig ponds in farms will bring productive result,works need to start immediately,misguided voters will recognize importance & participate,priority areas where flood occur and scarcity in summer,also need to fix ideas for underground water recharge,with channelizing water naturally from flood to scarcity through pipeline drill hole tunnels from ponds to ponds and save waste of water in sea,funds of mnerga/food security need to be utilize for such actual welfare initiative.

Desalination of sea water is a quick fix solution for potable water. this additional capacity of potable water could release some pressure on the traditional reservoir. Part of this could be diverted to the agriculture requirement. New townships (more than a particular area or number of residences) should take additional burden on water and power costs. This idea could be developed and discussed. :)
