Hyderabad Water Board Plans Smart Valve Installation
Imagine if we could control water valves with our phones!
That's what the Hyderabad Water Board is planning.
They want to replace 1,000 old valves with new, smart ones that can be opened and closed remotely.
These smart valves will use solar power and can be controlled from a mobile app or a central computer.
They'll also have meters that tell us how much water is being used, the water's quality, and if any water is being wasted.
This will make the water system better and safer for the workers who used to manually operate the valves.
Hyderabad Water Board plans to convert 1,000 valves into smart valves.
Smart valves will be solar-powered and controlled via app or dashboard.
Pilot project in Sanathnagar was successful, prompting the expansion.
Smart meters will track water released, quality, and potential wastage.
The technology aims to modernize the water system and improve safety for linemen.
