Hyderabad Water Board Leverages AI for Water Supply Optimization
Imagine the water company in Hyderabad is using a smart computer, AI, to figure out where people need the most water.
This AI looks at things like how often people order water trucks (tankers) and where they're complaining.
It found that some places, like Pragathinagar, were ordering lots of tankers.
The company visited Pragathinagar and learned residents don't get water often enough, causing them to use tankers.
To fix this, the water company plans to build a new water pipe to supply more water to the area.
They're also using the AI to solve complaints faster.
It is hoped that this AI will make sure everyone gets enough water.
Hyderabad Water Board uses AI to analyze water tanker bookings and consumer complaints.
AI helped identify areas with high tanker dependency, like Pragathinagar.
Residents in Pragathinagar experienced infrequent water supply, leading to excessive tanker bookings.
The Water Board is planning to improve water supply in Pragathinagar by developing a special feeder main.
Over 6.5 lakh complaints and 12 lakh tanker bookings were registered with the Water Board.
