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 Water utilities are under pressure to provide good quality water, but are struggling with their outdated infrastructure at the same time.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.

1. not a single drop of rain water to be vested.smart village,town or city to be made rain water conservation centers. 2. water to be recycled in many ways. House hold water which is in good condition like water outflow from aquaguard etc to chaneled to garden and provide water to plants and trees. 3. only Indian style of toilet to be used because wester style of toiled needs five times more water then Indian style. 4. No one can spoil our river water by throwing severage or chemicals in it.

Today 70% water used for agriculture. If we manage use of water in agriculture sector we can able to conserve water. For this we can use sensors based on IOT concept. For example, we can make such type of sensors which helps us to know about demand of water for particular soil. If we arrange these sensors in soil, it will inform people who stay near farm whenever water supply will increase more than requirement. So we can stop flow of water and conserve it.

Water shortage is national problem and any long term solution will have to integrate flood prone rivers/lakes with drought prone areas--inter-regional water body linking has to be the strategy; coupled with this must be aggressive rain water storage and recyclng clean water from waste water systems.This can integrate the countrythru an appropriate mission approch and promotion

Villages and compact towns should be encouraged to come up instead of mega cities. Wind turbines should be installed on riverbeds all along rivers to draw water from aquifers and store in ground tanks. Each tank or a set of few consecutively arranged tanks would supply water to the nearest village/town downstream so that water flows there by gravity. Thus the needs of the population living along a river from where it originates till its confluence will be taken care.

Respected Sir .I want to draw your attention towards the wastage of water being done by our municipalities as the municipal water supply pipe is not attached with a tap and hence huge  quantum of water is just drained..(particularly in Kolkata ) #savewater

RAINWATER HARVESTING is very impotent for our future needs every house must have a pit for Rainwater Harvesting, cites like Concrete Jungles there is no way to refill under ground water, but we are using underground water so much, So Government must pass act for compulsory maintain a pit for rainwater harvesting, and also give initiatives to have Rainwater mechanism in every house.

"Small steps can give us BIG RESULTS" 1.Rain Water Harvesting. 2.Smart Water usage like Smart Electronic tap and other devices. 3.Equal distribution over urban/rural areas. 4.While filling, Stop over flow of water tankers fitted in our homes. 5.Do not waste water special time of bathing, cloth washing and tooth Brushing.
