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 Water utilities are under pressure to provide good quality water, but are struggling with their outdated infrastructure at the same time.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

Most of the Rain water flows into sea during rainy season so check dams to be constructed in an interval of 1 Km distance along the river / rivulet to store the water along the river / rivulet.

1) Rainwater harvesting in all approved buildings, both residential and commercial should be made mandatory. While residential harvest pits will be maintained within the building, commercial harvest pits will be maintained as a water storage pond for every 5 sqkm area with 80ft (length)*80ft (breadth)*15ft(depth). (2) Wastewater from buildings can also be re-cycled and distributed at a nominal cost. 3) Desalination plants. Maintenance and regular ranking of these systems within limits is a must.

I have two ideas to save water. I shared these ideas with PM office and other ministry. We can think over it with these basic ideas. 1) Provide additional LEVER at bottom which can be controlled by feet and we can do our work like shaving, washing utensils with hands. 2) Additional Small Water Tanks in each flat which will reduce the pressure of water and leads to save water. The detailed information is given in attached sheet.

In Our Country INDIA, we are using generally only Municipality Water, family of 4 members using 500 - 1000 Lt of water as per their requirements, only 10- 20 Lt of water is use for drinking & app. may be 60 - 100 Lt of water for bathing. Rest water for flushing, cleaning & washing of clothes or etc. KINDLY THINK THIS & SAVE THE NATION'S WATER. AMIT BANSAL

THE SOLUTION TO THE WATER CRISIS SPECIALLY IN MAHARASHTRA CAN BE SOLVED BY ERECTING DESALINATION PLANT BY NIOT(GOVT ORG).PLANT IN GANPATI PULE WILL SOLVE MARATHAWADA WATER CRISIS AS IT IS JUST 18 K.M AWAY FROM GANPATI PULE.PLANT IN MUMBAI CAN ARRANGE TO DELIVER WATER IN LATUR. THE WHOLE OF MAHARASHTRA IS SUFFERING FROM WATER CRISIS, HENCE THINGS WILL HAVE TO BE DONE IN WAR FOOTING. .PREVIOUS GOVTS DID NOT WORK TO SOLVE SUCH CRUCIAL PROBLEM-DO IT NOW AND U WILL GET GOODWILL/POLITICAL SUPPORT.

Currently there are no for consumers incentives for reduced consumption of water. Consumers must be given a 'Consumption incentive' if their current month's consumption is less than the last 3 months' average. Incentive slabs can be built (for example 0-10% saving, 10% to 50% and 51% to 100% saving and so on). The money saved can be displayed prominently on the monthly water bill like what big retailers do. This will motivate consumers to save water.

I take a leaf from PM's idea of demarcating field boundaries by growing trees at agriculture fields in villages for timber cultivation to boost farmer incomes.The idea can be extended to plots in urban areas. The plots can have tall trees, Ashoka and like, instead of existing cement concrete / metal wires etc. This will increase green cover and help in additional rains by attracting more clouds. Thank you.
