Innovation Awards APAC 2023 - Public Sector: Andhra Pradesh

Many parts of rural India depend on uncovered drinking water, which is unsafe for human consumption.

To address the challenge, the Andhra Pradesh Space Applications Centre (APSAC) created a digital infrastructure for sourcing data on water assets in collaboration with water resources department officials, and to make the data available on a GIS platform. Engineers can then use the data to analyse, plan, operate, optimise and maintain water pipelines.
