Hydrocontrol's involvement

Hydrocontrol in collaboration with the University of Thessaly, Greece will develop a Field Guide on operating under Intermittent Water Supply regime and transitioning to 24×7 operation. The guide will describe in a practical manner how to move from intermittent supplies (IWS) to 24x7 in a cost-effective manner. The guide will focus on a specific case study (Guwahati, India) and will include methods such as improved operations and maintenance, restructuring the network to improve hydraulic performance, replacing part of the distribution system as needed, and introducing Active Leakage Control.
