SMARTWATER SUPPLY

The city, like most of the bursting cities in India, is mainly on the plains with a river dividing it intotwo. It has expanded itself to cover around 1500 sq. Km. It experiences a sub-tropical climate witharound 6 months of rainfall and 9 solar hours daily.

The city has a demand of 4300 million litres of water per day. Against it, supply is limited to 3000million litres of water per day.With as much as 40% of water being lost due to leaking pipes manyhousehold go without water. The real cause of scarcity of water is not its non-availability rather itsmain causes are mismanagement of water supply systems, defective distribution, wastage of waterdue to leakage.

Privatisation is a solution envisaged by many industrialists but it will make water unaffordable.Improvementin the present water supply could be achieved by enhancing the distribution networkand water recycling treatment. Water harvesting is also an option. However, primary focus should beto develop an automated distribution and metering system for water supply that would reduce thetheft losses and increase the distribution efficiency of water supply in the city

Design your own solution to the general problems, as mentioned above, the emerging cities arefacing in water supply.

LEVEL 1

In this level participants will have to submit a report for being selected to LEVEL-2. The contents ofthe report should be a case-study on the city and designing a Smart Water Supply. The varioussections of the report could be:?Overview about what your Smart Water Supply (solution to the problems) is??Designing a Smart Water Supply for the city(graphical representation).?The benefits of the Smart Water Supply that you have designed.?How will the modern system change the present scenario- a comparative study??Financial Model of the putting up of such a system.?Suggesting a method to implement the new water supply infrastructure you have designed.?Conclusion?References

The last date of entry of the abstract of this report is February 15, 2011.The abstract will have to be sent in .pdf format to .In this abstract, the participant will have to send whatever they have prepared in the report till thatday.
