Karnataka considering Singapore technology to ensure water quality

Karnataka’s RDPR Department is considering adopting technology from Singapore to ensure the quality of drinking water through early detection of pollution before it is made available to consumers.

On January 7, RDPR Minister Priyank Kharge held consultations with representatives of ZWEEC, a Singapore-based company that has conducted extensive technological research to develop a smart bio-monitoring system for early warning/detection of pollution in drinking water.

The Minister told company representatives that a pilot project would be implemented to examine the solutions offered. He stated that the solutions offered by the company will be evaluated by the Karnataka government.
