GIS Solution can help municipalities conserve water

Water is one of the most essential resources required for human survival, and sadly, also the resource that’s conservation is mostly neglected. A lot of water gets wasted in its supply process itself. The major problems which lead to wastage of water are as follows:

i.) Undetected Leakages in Pipes

The GIS solution can help in the following ways:

i.) Sensors can be placed at specific distances in the distribution network of pipes and the water pressure & volume difference can be gauge and placed on the map to quickly detect the leakages and take corrective measures.

ii.) Area wise demand can be gauged, by placing of apt sensors in the system and visualized on a map. The water can be distributed dynamically where the area having lesser demand received lesser water and their part of resources can be rerouted to the area having higher demand at a given time.
