Imagine waking up to dry taps in the middle of summer, knowing that the nearest water source is kilometres away. This is the harsh reality for many communities across India, where unpredictable monsoons and over-extraction have left 600 million people facing high to extreme water stress (NITI Aayog, 2018).
While large-scale infrastructure projects attempt to bridge the gap, everyday solutions like smart tank gauges , ours are empowering individuals, farmers, and businesses to take control of their water security through smart monitoring and management.
India’s Water Crisis and the Role of Technology
India faces a dual challenge: increasing demand and decreasing supply.
By 2030, water demand is expected to be twice the available supply, leading to severe shortages across urban and rural areas (NITI Aayog, 2018).
Per capita availability has declined by 70% since independence—from 5,177 m³ in 1951 to 1,545 m³ in 2011—and continues to fall (Central Water Commission, 2019).
To tackle this, smart water management technologies—including IoT sensors, real-time analytics, and AI-powered tools—are emerging as essential solutions.
The Indian Institute of Technology Delhi found smart water monitoring can:
Reduce consumption by 15–30%
Improve harvesting efficiency significantly (Sharma et al., 2021)
Rain Harvesting Connect is leading this shift, delivering better efficiency, optimisation, and long-term water security across India.
Comprehensive Smart Tank Gauges
We offer monitoring devices tailored to India’s unique water challenges:
Dam Level Meter (Satellite)
Monitors water levels in farm dams and open bodies (up to 10m depth) via satellite.
With drought affecting 42% of India’s land (IMD, 2022), it helps:
Track water in remote agricultural reservoirs
Schedule irrigation precisely
Alert users when water drops below critical levels
Manage resources across monsoon and dry seasons
Tank Gauge Float (Bluetooth/Wi-Fi)
Perfect for urban/peri-urban use (tanks up to 4m tall), it connects to mobile devices.
In cities averaging just 4–5 hours/day of supply (Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs, 2022), it helps:
Track tank levels in real time
Alert users to impending shortages
Detect leaks or excessive outflow
Tank Gauge Float (Satellite)
Provides the same monitoring for rural areas without internet.
With 65% of rural India lacking reliable internet (TRAI, 2022), it ensures:
Reliable tank monitoring
Real-time data via satellite
Over 12 months of battery life
Weather-resistant durability
Tank Gauge Float (Satellite)
Provides the same monitoring for rural areas without internet.
With 65% of rural India lacking reliable internet (TRAI, 2022), it ensures:
Reliable tank monitoring
Real-time data via satellite
Over 12 months of battery life
Weather-resistant durability
Tank Gauge Float (Sigfox)
For India’s expanding Sigfox IoT network, especially in metro regions:
Cost-effective
Up to 18-month battery life
Ideal for smart-city areas like Bengaluru, Delhi-NCR, and Chennai
Rain Gauge (Satellite)
Measures monsoon rainfall with 0.2mm precision and satellite connectivity.
Since 75% of rain falls during the monsoon (IMD, 2022), it helps:
Track rain patterns and seasonal shifts
Forecast harvest capacity
Guide strategic storage planning
Rain Gauge
(Bluetooth/Wi-Fi)
Suited for connected urban areas:
Real-time rainfall alerts
Smartphone access
Trend analysis for tank performance
Used in cities like Mumbai and Chennai to respond to sudden downpours
Trough Gauge (Satellite)
Supports livestock farms, which represent 25% of agri-GDP (Ministry of Animal Husbandry, 2022):
Tracks trough water levels continuously
Alerts when water is low
Easy to move and install
No tools or wiring needed
Built tough for farm conditions
Advanced Mobile Application
All devices integrate with one app:
Unified Dashboard: Monitor all devices in one view
Historical Analysis: Discover patterns and improve efficiency
Custom Alerts: Get real-time updates based on your preferences
Sharing Options: Give access to family or farm workers
The Benefits of Smart How Smart Tank Gauges Enhance Rainwater Harvesting in India
1. Substantial Water & Cost Savings
Studies in Maharashtra show:
32% drop in municipal water dependency
₹8,500–₹12,000 annual savings per household
45% savings for small farms
14–18 months payback period (Water Conservation Trust of India, 2022)
2. Enhanced Conservation & Harvesting Efficiency
India can harvest 85 million m³ of rooftop rainwater (Central Groundwater Board, 2021).
Our tools help:
Right-size tank capacity for rainfall
Prevent overflow during monsoons
Stretch harvested water during dry periods
Identify collection inefficiencies
3. Supporting Government Initiatives
Aligns with Jal Shakti Abhiyan, India’s flagship conservation mission:
Implemented in 256 water-stressed districts
Focus on reviving traditional water bodies
Promote recharge and reuse
Support awareness and data collection (Government of India, 2022)
Our monitoring tools enhance accountability, transparency, and efficiency.
4. Simple Installation & Scalability
Install in under 30 minutes
No specialised tools needed
Expand from home to community-wide scale
Works with traditional systems (tankas, kunds, etc.)
