Implement a remote monitoring system to improve the regulation of drinking water services in Peru.

    Description
    Description

    The implementation of a remote monitoring system would allow Sunass to improve the regulation of drinking water services across the country, which in turn would contribute to ensuring access to quality water for the population. This monitoring system would allow real-time information on water quality, service availability and water resource management, which would facilitate decision-making and the implementation of preventive measures. In addition, the automation of monitoring would reduce the administrative workload and allow for a more accurate and detailed monitoring of the performance of water operators. In short, the implementation of a remote monitoring system would improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the regulation of drinking water services in the country, which would benefit the population and the environment.

    Expected Impact

    The direct impact of this commitment is to reach more providers within our functions in an efficient way, thereby improving the sanitation service in areas where it could not have been reached by budgetary issues before.
