HMWS&SB Uses Robots to Detect Water Pollution
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Water Supply and Sewerage Board (HMWS&SB) is using special robots to check for pollution and leakages in the water supply.
They want to make sure that people get clean drinking water and have no complaints about dirty water.
The robots will help find problems in the pipes quickly.
The board is also planning to replace old and damaged pipes within the next two months to make sure the water supply is clean and safe for everyone.
HMWS&SB is using robotic pipe inspection technology to detect pollution and leakages in the water supply.
The goal is to reduce complaints of contaminated water to zero and achieve a water pollution-free city.
Officials will analyze complaint patterns and identify areas with frequent issues.
Old and damaged pipelines will be replaced within the next two months.
A robotic pollution identification machine has been introduced to quickly identify and resolve issues in the water supply network.
