BWSSB to Install IoT Devices in 6,000 More Borewells by March 2027
The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) plans to install Internet of Things (IoT) devices in 6,000 additional borewells by March 2027, expanding on the 1,800 already equipped. These devices will monitor water depth, extraction levels, and pump operation in real time, aiming to improve borewell management, reduce equipment damage, and lower maintenance costs. Data collected will support sustainable groundwater use and enhance operational efficiency through centralized monitoring and integration with existing systems.
