11.1 Introduction

For human survival, water is considered one of the vital resources. Based on population increase and water consumption rate, the water sector companies are rounding the clock around the smart water management system. The World Health Organization stated that water consumption by each person in one day is 150 liters, and one family with four members exceeds 600 liters water consumption in a single day. An average Indian family of four, living in an apartment, utilizes more than 1000 liters of water every day. Close to 25–30% of the world’s water supply is wasted due to leaking. A trickle flow from the leakage tank has the potential to leak upward of 600 liters of water every day. Such leaks can be detected by installing a meter at every point to track its consumption. Almost 4% of fresh water is available, as compared to other countries, with India covering only 2.6% of the world’s surface area. India is the highest groundwater extracting country in the world, followed by China and the United States. But water usage of the United States and China put together, India’s water consumption is still higher; by global standards, it is a water‐scarce country.

Looking at annual per capita freshwater availability, the indicator used to gauge water scarcity across countries, ...
