Smart and accountable water distribution for rural development

Abstract

The Water Distribution Management System is an intuitive approach to eradicate the shortage of water in remote areas by providing requisite amount of water to each and every household by virtue of their uniquely generated water cards. In this paper, the main emphasis is given on the fact that the existing manual water collection systems leading to improper water distribution are replaced to the point where the services provided are efficient and cost effective leading not only to eliminate water scarcity but to encourage water conservation as well. Each household is entitled to a certain amount of water per day and the process of water collection is scheduled automatically. A feedback system has also been incorporated to evaluate the quality of water being supplied.
