Project aims to devise methods that can lead to conserving and judicious use of water along with reduction of money, resources and time utilization in fetching water by the urban poor, methods that can eradicate waterborne diseases, eliminate household investments in water infrastructure like - overhead and underground storages, motor pumps and RO purifiers and aim to achieve water resilience. Thus goal is to understand the policy, technical issues that are preventing a ban on practices like ferrule digging that make treated tap water unfit for drinking and lead to a requirement of RO's at end user's part. Since 50-60% of water from water supply systems is part of distribution losses, the project focuses on understanding leak/theft/wastage patterns to devise community centric ILP process that stands for 1. Identification 2. Localizing 3. Pinpointing. Understanding smart water management and assessing how cost-effective IOT devices can aid the process, which are designed to increase transparency, and make more reasonable and sustainable usage of these water resources. Assessing what is holding us back from making water supply systems smaller, thus identifying the required changes in policy frameworks that can ensure that groundwater and rainwater do become part of the main water supply system.
