Challenge:

In West Bengal, they have a groundwater management challenge that can lead to contamination of drinking water with contact with salt water. At the same time, drinking water is under pressure due to climate challenges and a growing population.
Right now, the water table (the level of water in the subsoil) is dropping by almost 1 m per year, which means higher costs for pumping groundwater and less water each year for irrigation and drinking.

Solution:

The Danish company, DRYP, have teamed up with two Indian partners to test DRYP’s IoT solution. By creating an IT toolbox, DRYP can help minimize water waste and save costs for the Indian partners.
