Introduction
• Water Metering
• Automated Meter Reading (AMR)
• Smart Meters
• Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI)
![Page 3: AUTOMATED METER READING FOR INDUSTRIAL WATER SUPPLY](https://reader033.vdocuments.site/reader033/viewer/2022042603/568c0ea21a28ab955a913564/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Stand-alone Metering
• Mechanical meters
• Electronic meters
Issues:• Meter reading
• Manual billing
• Leakage & Tampering

Automated Meter Reading
• Consumption data• diagnostic, and status data
CENTRAL DATABASE • Billing
• Troubleshooting• Analyzing

Automated Meter Reading
o Touch based AMR (on-site AMR)
o Radio frequency network• Handheld• Walk/drive by system• Fixed Network
o GSM based AMR• Data transmission via
GSM modem & network
Receiver

AMR Advantages:
• Eliminates manual error in reading and billing
• Avoid estimates/ flat billing
• Close monitoring of water supply
• Increased customer service
• Help identify and pinpoint leak
• Help detect tampering
• More efficient billing

Issues with AMR
• High AMR cost
• Theft – metal parts
• High maintenance cost
• Imported technology
Projects in India
• MCGM – Mumbai 2008
• DJB - Delhi
• Goa
• Bangalore

Indian Scenario - Is it time for domestic AMR ???
• 44 % Non revenue Water (Min. of Urban Development)
• up to 75% connections are not metered in some cities.
• Low domestic tariff in both urban & rural areas
• Few cities does not bill residential users
• Water charges could recover only 60 % of operating & maintenance cost
Large scope of improvement in:• water management practices.
• water legislation
• efficiency in water use
• Infrastructure
• water conservation

Indian Scenario - Is it time for domestic AMR ???
• Do we really need to monitor domestic water supply in India very closely at a
very high cost?
• Whether the return justify the higher cost?
o Select the areas where return is more and require less investment.
o Focus on industrial connections, bulk meters on supply main of apartment
complexes.

Domestic Vs Industrial supply
• Industries – Less no. of connections
– water consumption is almost double
– More revenue
• Domestic – more consumers
– Low tariff
– Less revenue
SAME AMR cost, MORE revenue in industrial connections.

Conclusion
• Return does not justify project cost in case of domestic
consumers.
• AMR can be implemented for industrial and commercial
consumers.
• A pilot project may be conducted before large scale
implementation.
