Gurugram plans micro data centre to monitor water supply network

The Municipal Corporation of Gurugram (MCG) is setting up a micro data centre to digitise the monitoring of the city’s water supply network, officials said.

The data centre will integrate GIS mapping, AI-based systems, SCADA technology and sensors to enable real-time monitoring of water infrastructure, including boosting stations and tubewells, reported The Times of India.

Officials said the system will support the creation of District Metered Areas (DMAs), which will allow authorities to track water supply, consumption and losses caused by leakages or theft more accurately.

Initially, the micro data centre will focus on water supply systems. Officials said the digital infrastructure could later be extended to other civic services, including sewerage and utility networks.
