in the Guwahati Metropolitan area:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Water supply facilities cater to less than 30% of the population, for only about 1-2 hours per day;<\/li>\n<li>Most of the plants and pipelines have outlived their designed life period and are prone to leakages leading to the infiltration of contamination;<\/li>\n<li>Consumption of groundwater with heavy metal can lead to life-threatening diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00b4cd;\">Scope of the use case:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The water distribution network of the Guwahati city is located in the west zone of Guwahati, the South Central Area;<\/li>\n<li>The water supply area is split into 13 DMAs, and 4 of these DMAs (33km pipe length) will be considered for the LOTUS sensor analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #00b4cd;\">Key aims for improving water supply in the Guwahati Metropolitan area:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>To increase water supply from 2 hours per day to 12 hour per day for Guwahati residents in the South Central Area;<\/li>\n<li>To enable tap water to be consumed without further local treatment;<\/li>\n<li>To reduce operational cost by 10 % and Non-Revenue Water (NRW) by 10 %;<\/li>\n<li>To optimise chemical dosage by 10% with the help of optimal control algorithms and real-time sensing of residual chlorination levels.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #00b4cd;\">How LOTUS will improve water supply in the Guwahati Metropolitan area:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>The Guwahati Water Board is planning a major upgrade of the network with the long-term goal to provide 24\/7 water supply;<\/li>\n<li>The placements of LOTUS sensors will be optimised to allow the aims to be achieved at minimal cost,<\/li>\n<li>The distribution network design and design standardization for intermittent water supply networks will be addressed.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><span style=\"color: #00b4cd;\">Current developments:<\/span><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>28 potential sensor locations in the Guwahati water distribution network, in the South-Central Area has been identified,<\/li>\n<li>These locations have been verified physically and corresponding details regarding the location, connectivity, power, pipe sizing have been gathered.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #00b4cd;\">Outcomes of Use Case 1:<\/span> <\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Provision of a safe drinking water supply, without local treatment, free from water-based diseases.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div><div
