Smart City Infrastructure And Solutions - Netsol Water Solutions

Cities are the engines as well as the backbones of growth for the economy of every nation across the world. A large chunk of the world’s current population lives in urban areas and contributes a major share of the World’s GDP. With increasing urbanization, urban areas are expected to house larger % of the world’s population as well as contribute to a larger chunk of the world’s GDP in the next 10 years.

What does this call for?
Such a massive and accelerated process of urbanization requires comprehensive development, sophisticated automation, and integrated centralized control of physical, institutional, social as well as economic infrastructures.

All these are of paramount importance in improving the quality of life as well as attracting people, entrepreneurs, industries, startups, and investors to the City, setting in motion a virtuous cycle cum path of growth as well as development. Development of Smart Cities is the main step that a nation can take in that direction.
The objective of the Smart Cities Program is as follows:
  • to promote cities that provide core infrastructure
  • to give a decent life to the residents
  • to give a clean and sustainable environment and
  • the application of ‘Smart’ Solutions to the City Infrastructure Management.

The focus of a Smart City will be on sustainable as well as inclusive development programs. The core idea is to look at compact areas, create a repeatable as well as a replicable model. This model should then be used to convert other cities into smart cities too. The systems developed herein should be capable of replication both within as well as outside of the Smart City.

The core infrastructure elements in a smart city will consist of the following:
  • Adequate Water Supply through recycling of water by the deployment of Water Treatment plants.
  • Assured Electricity Supply through Renewable Energy sources such as Solar, Wind and Hydel Power Plants
  • Sanitation, including Solid Waste Management through the deployment of Sewage Treatment Plants
  • Efficient Urban Mobility and Public Transport in the form High-Speed Rails and Metro connectivity including last-mile para-transport connectivity
  • Well maintained intra-city and inter-city roads with centralized Traffic Monitoring and Control
  • Affordable housing for the economically underprivileged residents. Expand housing opportunities for all classes of citizens by subsidized Home Financing. Removal of slum areas. This will boost the local economy, promote community interactions and ensure citizen security.
  • Robust IT connectivity for the private and public.
  • Digital transformation of all Government, Civic, Public interfaces. Good governance in terms of e-Governance and e-citizen participation. Making governance citizen-friendly as well as cost-effective for the citizens. Rely on online services to bring about accountability as well as transparency. Usage of using mobiles to reduce the cost of services and providing remote services without the need to go to municipal offices; form e-groups to listen to people and record feedback. Use online monitoring of programs as well as activities through cyber (video) tour of worksites.
  • Sustainable environment in terms of reduced pollution, protection of animals, birds and other organisms of the ecosystem. Preserving and developing open spaces such as parks, playgrounds, as well as recreational spaces. This will enhance the quality of life of citizens, reduce the urban heat effects promote eco-balance.
  • Go green initiatives for the Industries in terms of Effluent Treatment Plants and Commercial RO Plants.

The Scope of Industrial Water Audit - Netsol Water Solutions

Water is a precious natural international resource that has almost a fixed quantum of availability. With continuous growth in the world’s population, per capita availability of utilizable water is decreasing every day. Continuous discharge of industrial effluents into different water bodies is further aggravating the problematic situation of shortage of water of acceptable quality. Rainfall is also highly variable and occurs in specific months in different parts of the world. We need to declare water conservation as an international mission. It is very crucial and important for all countries to collectively address the problem of alarmingly progressive water shortage. This is possible only, by conserving every drop of water and by conducting water audits for all sectors of water usage. The first step to decreasing water consumption in any industry is the identification of current water usage. The current water usage can be identified by undertaking a water audit.  ...

An Insight into Water Pollution

Our seas, rivers, streams, lakes, and reservoirs are drowning in chemicals, waste, plastic, and other pollutants. Here’s why? and what you can do to help.   While we all know water is very crucial for living beings, we waste it away. Approximately 80 percent of the world’s wastewater is dumped (mostly untreated) back into the environment, polluting seas, rivers, streams, and lakes. This problem of water pollution is jeopardizing the health of all of us. Unhygienic water kills more people every year than all other forms of “life-killers” combined. As a matter of fact, our drinkable water sources are finite in quantum, Less than one percent of the earth’s fresh water is accessible to humankind.  In 2050, when Global demand for fresh water is expected to be 33% more than the demand for freshwater as of now, it will pose a greater challenge if we don’t take appropriate action. Sipping a glass of cool, clean, and clear water doesn’t mean that water pollution is a problem elsewhere....
