One of the most serious issues of water management is the question how to allocate the water resources to guarantee sufficient amount of water for all demands. That is why, it can be expected that allocation management will gain further importance in the future. It is not exaggerated to declare that “the issue of allocation overshadows all other aspects of water management”.
This article tries to create an awareness as to various possible methods that the water can be conserved, where there is a single master water meter from the utility supplier ( Ex : BWSSB, in Bangalore) , or the water is purchased through tankers or extracted from bore-wells within the site.
Why do we need to start thinking on Conservation, Allocation, Sub-metering, there are many reason, here is some of them (from BWSSB) for the residents of Bangalore
These reasons are good enough to start thinking about conservation.
Through Sub-metering:
Through RUBS
Advances in metering technology have made it possible to economically convert multi-unit properties to individual metered service using sub-meters. However, the plumbing configuration in many properties makes it too costly, and in some cases, impossible to install individual sub-meters.
RUBS is a way to help residents understand the true cost of utility service in properties where meters cannot be feasibly installed. By allocating a portion of the property utility costs, residents can see the connection between usage and cost. By separating utility costs from rent, water conservation is encouraged. This helps keep resident total housing cost as low as possible and also promotes environmental conservation.
