KarIoT - Smart Water Management for Panchayat Tirunchendur Using IoT

KarIoT Solution To Reduce Water Stress In The Panchayat Of Tiruchendur

PANCHAYAT OF TIRUCHENDUR similar to many habitats is facing supply-lead deprivation, where the account of supplied water is inconsistent. This project highlights that even an established water-supply infrastructure fails without an effective monitoring system.

Challenges

Inaccurate manual recordings
Water quality fluctuations and inability to counter setbacks
Prolonged response/down time if water is contamination
Lack of alerting system in case of water overflow or leakage or poor quality
Inability to track activity like flow, level and consumption
Physical log of data without digital archive for analysis
Increase in operational and labor cost

Solutions

Digitally-enabled water supply infrastructure will help in real-time monitoring and evidence-based policymaking
Digitisation of water supply infrastructure has the potential to help the Gram Panchayats as 'local public utility'
Complete 24/7 control of the water supply system and its facilities in real-time
Birds-view management of the system remotely via web and a mobile application
Automated alerts to notify the key personals of inconsistencies, malfunctions and anomalies
Monitoring and audits of energy consumption from pumps and filtering plants etc
Automated and remote control of water valves
Predictive analysis and behavior of water systems in different weather conditions

Results

KarIoT is able to address all the above issues by installing IoT devices and multiple sensors (for flow, level, quality etc.) without disrupting the existing supply system and infrastructure. All the information collected is securly stored over cloud and readily available for monitoring and analysis. Unlike alternate methods, KarIoT is able tp provide smart, portable and cost-effective solution to the panchayat without a huge investment.
