Joppe Cramwinckel (Director, Water, WBCSD), Joe Phelan (Director, WBCSD India) and Hannah Greig (India Water Tool Coordinator, WBCSD) discuss the need for the India Water Tool, which is a part of their Global Water Tool. The India Water Tool provides companies with accurate and credible water data at a block-level, on the availability and quality of water at specific sites. With the help of this tool, companies can better assess their water risks and manage water usage more efficiently in India. Infosys was chosen for its deep sustainability domain knowledge, technology expertise and understanding of the Indian market.

  1. The first edition of India Water Tool was launched with a great deal of help and data input from Central Ground Water Board while I was the Chairman. I hope that it is being used extensively by the industries and is useful. The users should give a good feedback regarding the usefulness of the tool and should come forward with suggestions regarding improving the tool and its applicability. I have since retired on superannuation. Any further suggestions required from Ground Water point of view may be sent to WBCSD. I can also provide any assistance, if required. Can be contacted through my email: sushilanitagupta@yahoo.com. Thanks. Sushil Gupta

  2. We, at Pyramid Control System Private Limited, also have good domain knowledge on water related issues and technologies. These include all types of level sensors of different technologies, costs, accuracies; generation of algorithms for computing quantities based on reservoir dimensions and contours; all types of water flow sensors of different technologies, costs and accuracies; generation of algorithms for computing water discharge through different radial or spillway gates on dams based on gate opening positions through position sensors as well as open channel ultrasonic flow sensors for water discharge in rivulets; On line, real time water quality monitoring systems for pH, BOD, COD, TSS, TOC, Hexavelnt Chromium and more; with data acquisition, conditioning, processing, communication, storage and retrieval subsystem with on line live data transmission to central and regional servers; on line real time water leakage technologies on large pipelines. This also includes domain knowledge of LT/HT electrical motor and Diesel Engine driven pumping stations with automatic and remote pump starting and monitoring subsystems using soft starters/VFDs/PLCs/SCADA/Telemetry. Would like to be associated with Infosys/Others and share these domain knowledges gathered over last over 20 years. These, in my opinion, can be integrated in the India Water Tool.
