Internet of things (IoT) allows new ways to be opened in water conservation. Smart water saving solutions enable water-using appliances to combine wirelessly and send data to a cloud-based system that can be managed through your phone, providing real-time water usage monitoring, analytics for analyzing water usage over time (day-wise, week-wise, month-wise), monitoring the actual water consumed by the appliances.
Washing machines (15 percent), Toilets (19 percent), and faucets (11 percent) also use a substantial amount of water. Then there’s the 10 percent of water lost to leakages which are not always easy to discover.
Role of IoT in water conservation
Smart water saving solutions leveraging IoT is the solution to take water conservation to a new level. IoT technology will enable intelligent water meters and sensors to be used in homes.
Smart water meters: To check water regulation, using analog meters, owners and water suppliers will have to go and view the meters themselves, as meters cannot report water usage due to absence lack of connectivity. The connected smart water meters leveraging IoT technology can allow owners to view their water usage more efficiently, and can also send instant alerts to homeowners if they are using too much water. The owners will no longer have to wait for the end of the billing cycle to be reported.
Smart water flow sensors: An unknown maze of pipes exist in all houses, so it is challenging to discover leaks. Smart sensors can facilitate immediate detection of leaks. If a sensor identifies water flow even when no water using appliance is working, the sensor can send an alert. The owner can then make the necessary improvements.
Leveraging internet of things (IoT) Technology allows new ways to be presented in water conservation. Smart water saving solutions enable water-using appliances to connect wirelessly and send data to a cloud-based system that can be accessed from a smartphone, allowing real-time water usage monitoring, analytics for comparing water usage over time (day-wise, week-wise, month-wise), checking the actual water consumed by the appliances.
Efficient solution:
A smart IoT based wireless energy monitoring solution allows you to know the current and past water consumption. The system provides detailed information about water usage as a whole and notifies you of your extra water consumption.
Easy to use iOS and Android apps makes it easy to keep an eye on your home while you are away. Get an instant overview of how much you're consuming water with the graphics and statistics function within the app, and know what to expect before your bill even arrives, making wonders a thing of the past.
Smart system solutions can help you preserve water and observe the real value of your habits. Using IoT in energy-saving money lessens pollution, and reduces environmental footstep.
