Jal Jeevan Mission to integrate water data, create digital twin of water supply infrastructure
The Jal Jeevan Mission is implementing digital twins and AI-driven data integration to improve water management at the village level. This system aims to provide local authorities with decision-support tools for water budgeting and infrastructure maintenance.
Why it matters
Digital transformation in water governance is critical for sustainability and resource allocation in water-stressed regions.
Under the Jal Jeevan Mission , the government is using integrated water data, digital twins and Artificial Intelligence to enable localised water budgeting at the village level, said Ashok K. Meena, Secretary, Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation, Ministry of Jal Shakti.
He hoped that this would help improve infrastructure management and predict water supply and sustainability problems before they occur. Mr. Meena was speaking at the launch of From Gujarat to India: Water Lessons for the World , a case study documenting the evolution of water governance in Gujarat and India between 2001 and 2026, at IIM Bangalore.
