IIITH’s Smart Fix for Hyderabad’s Water Woes

The International Institute of Information Technology, Hyderabad (IIITH) never even had to book a water tanker as they managed to remain self-sufficient despite being located in rocky terrain. The institute houses 800 students and close to 100 faculty. The 66-acre campus could remain self-sustainable by keeping track of various parameters—water flow, distribution, water quality, both drinking and domestic use, groundwater level, and rainwater harvesting, among others. Along with treating water for reuse and collecting rainwater, they made use of various smart solutions -- in-house sensors and the creation of a digital twin, among others to preserve water and responsibly use it. According to researchers, one of the foremost things needed to address water woes is to understand the water consumption to plug leakages and also remove illegal connections. They also measure water quantity and quality using sensors Wherever possible, the institute uses water treated through sewage treatment plants (STP) or collecting using rainwater harvesting so that the groundwater and even water supplied by the HMWSSB remains untouched or at least minimised. They have signed an MoU to run a trial to see if the IIITH model can be implemented in a nearby colony. Smart City Living Lab, IIITH is also in talks with other municipalities to help them address water woes.
