GeoSmart Water
Water connects every aspect of life. With the planet’s second largest population at 1.3 billion, and expectant growth to 1.7 billion by 2050, India is struggling to serve the vast majority of that population with safe and potable drinking water. Bringing clean water, toilets and hygiene to 1.3 billion people is a massive challenge. In order to overcome these challenges, we are tapping in to the power of technology. The new-gen of “smart” and “intelligent” technology has the ability to monitor and analyze water usage in different fields. These technologies include smart water metering, effective desalination, wastewater management, laser seeding treatment and so on making water systems more efficient, secure and reliable water systems.
This program aims to identify the power of the emerging technologies towards achieving the sustainable development goal of providing equitable access to water for all.
