Municipal water + IoT experts
Location
Tier-2 City, Western India
850,000 residents
The Challenge
The municipal corporation was facing significant water losses (35-40%) due to undetected pipeline leaks, inconsistent water pressure across different zones, and lack of real-time monitoring of their 480km distribution network. Citizens frequently complained about low pressure and irregular supply, while the corporation struggled with high operational costs and inefficient resource allocation. Manual monitoring was insufficient for managing such a large network serving 850,000 residents.
Our Solution
We implemented a comprehensive smart water network with IoT sensors, real-time leak detection, automated pressure management, and citizen service integration for efficient municipal water management.
