The Story in Brief
The Bangalore Water Supply and Sewerage Board (BWSSB) plans to use a data model built by startups to tackle Bengaluru's high water leakage. The model, as reported by the Deccan Herald, will be loaded with pipeline location, age, material, and diameter, as well as complaint data from different areas. This will help the board generate a prioritised list of pipelines to be changed. The initiative aims to address the significant water loss in the city's ageing network. The board hopes to reduce losses and improve supply reliability.
The Indian Opinion
This data-driven plan sounds promising, but Bengaluru's water leakage problem is decades old. The real test is whether the board will actually replace the pipes on the prioritised list, not just file another report. Citizens have seen many initiatives stall. The number of kilometres of pipeline replaced next year will be the true measure of success.
