Our students Akshay Balachandran, Surya Murugaian, R. Parthasarathy and Murali Siva from Amrita University never knew that their hard work for developing a technique and prototype SMART WATER will transform into a start up.
Cisco organized a competition 'iDeatte - The Great Digital India Challenge’. This four students from Amrita University competed with nearly 40 institutions and made their way for winning a cash prize of Rs.2.50 Lakhs.
Smart Water is a quality water testing technique. It can be used for large water bodies like dams , tanks and involves collecting various parameters like pH level, dissolved oxygen, temperature, and conductivity – from limited locations. The collected data is then used to generate a hypothesis function through machine learning that can accurately predict the parameter values at all other locations. This technique is very useful to predict the water quality a month or year ahead which will reduce over-exploitation of water.
The students first tested the prototype on water bodies like swimming pool to lakes.
Now this technique Smart Water is going to be start up as many companies like Cisco have shown interest in the project.
