A non-profit initiative to conserve water through behavioral change practices, water conservation awareness among the end-user, utilization of ICT as a mode of creating solutions and implementation, product and services adhering with SDG6. We use an intuitive digital model to identify and fix the water leakages at the household levels, following up with data analytics, monitoring and evaluation. We follow a partnership model for the implementation of our projects and a whole of society approach for creating the theory of change. Our modus operandi has a coherence with the institutional policies and governance to cascade and impact our beneficiaries throughout.
Expected Impact

We expect to save 2.1 million litres of water at the urban households level in the mentioned city through our ICT enabled application and implementation in fixing the tap leakages. We intend to inculcate behavioral changes in end-user water consumption and responsible usage through our educational workshops, volunteering programs, awareness building activities and social media campaign. We also intend to create innovative ICT solutions in the water conservation space in Urban, peri Urban and rural areas though partnership mode.
