Sustainable solutions to water woes in india
- 1. Sustainable & Innovative Solutions for Water Woes In India
- 2. Snapshots A THOUGHT PROVOKING SMALL JOURNEY http://prezi.com/djbhyhaxdz-s/save-water/
- 5. Water Issues in India Increasing Urban Population and usage Competition for water between water users – domestic, industry, agriculture, others Allocation issues Climate Change, Drought – scarcity of surface water Depleting groundwater resources/salinity intrusion Insufficient infrastructure for waste management Unsustainable water use practices - NRW/UFW
- 6. Water Supply & Demand gap
- 7. Ways to reduce supply- demand gap
- 8. Business Models in India’s Water Sector • Municipal and Public • Operations and Maintenance Contracts • BOT approach • Affermage • Concession • Investor Owned Utility model
- 9. Water Value Chain in India
- 10. Few short-term measures • Central enforced vigilant team to check water wastage in urban, semi-urban and rural areas • Curbing water pollution and reducing excess usage • High-penalty on water wastage and water pollution • Increasing water storage capacity in towns and villages • Low-tax on public to maintain central water reserve for acute needs • Channeling funds for water purification from sea, water-falls, rivers and other water bodies • Processing of hard-water to usable form • Large scale rain water harvesting • Awareness campaign and programs
- 11. Long term Solutions •Integrated approach to water , including social and financial considerations in planning , designing and implementing water and sanitation policies. •Using Internet and other technologies to enhance transparency and accountability and report on results and progress . Also to manage projects in a way to minimize bureaucracy •Community participation and involvement right from beginning of any project along with NGOs for a sustainable solution •Adopting more precise irrigation practices •Investments in infrastructure , R&D and knowledge management systems
- 12. Long term Solutions Examples • A solar-powered, off-grid tank, regulated by a smart card. Water ATM : Sarvajal • Automatic water level controller for industrial needs Automatic water level controller •A domestic rainwater harvesting systems. It’s strategy is to form public-private-community partnership or social enterprise to provide drinking water to the people. Aakash Ganga •Stanford social innovation review suggests a Peer water exchange – a technology platform to resolve the water crisis Peer water exchange
- 13. Proposed solution: WSG A WSG system (Water smart grid): As a key component of a smart water network, smart water meters integrated with sensing technologies give water utilities advanced tools for more efficiently measuring water consumption and providing water customers with data to help them monitor their water usage and reduce costs. Leak detection and identifying non-water revenue are also key benefits of smart water meters and a smart water network.
- 14. A WSG system Smart Water Sensors & meters Advance modeling & water mapping Smart Irrigation & Autonomous robots Data Driven system for intelligent management

- 17. A Sensor Prototype Sensor - to indicate level of water Valve(like solenoid valve) in the pipe to stop the flow when indicated by the sensor Water flows into the tank
- 18. Obstacles in Implementation Current data infrastructures limited in scalability and interoperability inhibit timely and effective decision making across departments and organizations. Next generation water management systems need to be more flexible while providing more robust real-time analytics, modeling, and decision support capabilities. Also it is important to interlock with funding agencies such as World Bank, IFC as well as NGOs Intense collaboration amongst the stakeholders across geographies and the water ecosystem

Editor's Notes
- Municipal and public In this model, the municipality (or occasionally, a region of collective municipalities) owns and operates the utility. Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Operation and Maintenance (O&M) contracts In this model, the municipality owns the utility and retains the responsibility for capital improvement, but delegates that for day-to-day operations and maintenance to an outside contractor. The contractor is paid by the municipality, which controls the revenues received from end users. Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) approach In this model, the municipality presents the opportunity to build and operate a new facility to the private sector, along with the responsibility for all required capital improvements, during the contract period. On the completion of the contract, ownership of the facility is transferred back to the municipality, based on the terms agreed on. Affermage In this model, the municipality continues to be the owner of the utility and bears the responsibility for capital expenditure. However, it “leases” the utility to the private sector for day-to-day operations and maintenance. In return, the private sector makes “lease payments” to the municipality to compensate it for its capital investment. Under this model, the private sector retains the user fees received from end customers and uses these to pay its costs. Concession In this model, the municipality continues to be the owner of the utility, but responsibility for capital expenditure as well as day-to-day operations and maintenance rests with the private sector. As in the “affermage” model, the private sector retains user fees received from end customers. At the end of the concession period, the responsibility of the private sector may revert to the municipality or the concession arrangement may be renewed. Investor-Owned Utility (IOU) In this model, the municipality no longer owns the utility, and hence, all its responsibilities (including fee collection) related to utilities reside with the private sector. In some jurisdictions, this model has been adopted to allow the public sector to act as the sole or part shareholder or owner of a “commercialized” utility (utility with a commercial mandate and structure).
