In absence of Industry metering, water is seen as an unlimited and cost-free resource resulting in uncontrolled water abstraction and effluent discharge. Attaching a cost to the resource and asking the industry to invest in recycle and reuse would be a daunting task. So, the intended solution needs to be cost effective, durable, low maintenance and user friendly and giving accurate results to garner confidence in the industry. The intended system will deploy advanced technologies that were not tested in local context before. So, ground reality and long-term hassle-free operation should be considered. Teams would require guidance of industry experts in designing a worthy solution. Breadth and depth of the solution depends on the imagination of the respective teams. Teams can consult with other already deployed ideas in countries with similar setting. Coders are expected to develop GPS/GIS based tools and water foot-print-data from main sources to environmental discharges. Data storage and visualization libraries available as open sources shall be made available as resources to the participating teams.

The intended system will deploy advanced technologies that were not tested in local context before. So, ground reality and long-term hassle-free operation should be considered. Teams would require guidance of Urban water experts in designing a worthy solution. Existing automation projects of DWASA should be considered and solution should be compatible with the existing infrastructure.
