Recognising the need for modern infrastructure facilities and improved service delivery, many urban local bodies (ULBs) and water utilities across India have turned to advanced technological solutions for efficient asset management. Over the past few […]
High levels of non-revenue water (NRW) coupled with ageing pipelines and tampered or damaged meters have become a key concern for urban local bodies (ULBs). These factors result in a mismatch between water supply and […]
Water supply is being rendered only as an intermittent service in most parts of the country. However, over the years, the concept of 24×7 water supply has gained significant interest in the country. Urban local […]
The existing water pipeline infrastructure in India is coming under increased pressure due to increasing urbanisation and growing population. Currently, more than 40 per cent of the water produced in several cities of the country […]
The management of clean water supply is turning out to be a challenging endeavour for water utilities due to the rampant growth in urban population, increasing agricultural and industrial activities, depleting water resources and ageing […]
In light of the depleting water reserves, it is imperative to manage water resources efficiently. To this end, the concept of recycling and reuse of wastewater has started gaining traction. The key players in the […]
In light of the dwindling water reserves, the need to manage water resources judiciously has become imperative. In this regard, the concept of recycling and reuse of wastewater has gained traction. Treated wastewater can be […]
Water utilities across the country are recognising the importance of proper water supply management, and have been adopting various initiatives to operate more efficiently. Urban local bodies (ULBs) in major Indian cities have started deploying […]
Over the past few decades, significant progress has been made in providing water supply and sanitation services to the masses in various developing countries. However, even with the increasing network of water supply, the ability […]
Water scarcity issues are a major problem in many parts of the world, affecting the quality of life, the environment, industries and the economy. Water scarcity can be attributed to natural causes such as climate […]
Water supply is being rendered only as an intermittent service in most parts of India. The concept of 24×7 water supply has thus garnered significant interest in the country. Unlike previous attempts, which were focused […]
As per the estimates of the Central Water Commission, India is not a water-scarce country. It has a water resource potential of 1,869 billion cubic metres. However, more than 40 per cent of the water […]
Pipelines are widely used for the transportation of fresh water to households, commercial and industrial consumers. The structure of pipelines is designed to withstand several environmental loading conditions to ensure safe and reliable distribution from […]
India’s water challenges are multifaceted and multiplying. The country is ranked as the world’s 13th most water-stressed country by the World Resources Institute’s Aqueduct Water Risk Atlas. Given that both surface water and groundwater in […]
Water is essential for daily sustenance and healthy living. With plummeting groundwater levels, contamination of water sources and increasing consumption, challenges in the water sector have increased manyfold. One of the biggest challenges is ensuring […]
Though water and sanitation are state subjects, over the years the central government has been attempting to nudge state and city governments to invest in water and waste infrastructure through various programmes. Centrally sponsored programmes […]
Greater Mumbai has one of the oldest water supply networks in the country, dating back to 1860. At present, its water supply requirements stand at about 3,800 million litres per day (mld). The per capita […]
One of the key indicators of efficient water management is accurate measurement of consumption. Urban local bodies (ULBs) currently face issues such as obsolete pipeline networks, pipeline damage from corrosion or third-party activities, worn-out pressure […]
