Ensuring borewell availability and water accountability at a power plant using EverSense for Groundwater Extraction Management

A power plant in North West India, located within city limits, relies on 10 borewells for its daily operations. The plant faced difficulties in managing borewell health and ensuring proper water extraction due to faulty network components and improper borewell operation. As a result, groundwater accountability was below expectations, and additionally, a borewell failure occurred. In 2021, EverSense for Groundwater Extraction Management was deployed to leverage real-time data-based insights. By being digitally connected, we were able to identify issues within the network, including faulty components like the non-return valve (NRV), which was negatively impacting water accountability. Additionally, we were able use the data to identify improper borewell operations, which had led to a previous borewell failure.

Problem

PROBLEM

Inefficient water extraction and borewell management

Found it difficult to maintain the correct groundwater levels, thereby affecting the quality of water too

Objective

OBJECTIVE

To proactively maximise the use of extracted water, improving operational efficiency while maintaining reliability and groundwater accountability.

Solution

THE SOLUTION

Through EverSense for Groundwater Extraction Management we provided real-time insights to guide the user which borewell to extract water from and when.

By being digitally connected, we were able to identify issues within the network, including faulty components like the non-return valve (NRV), which negatively impacted water accountability. The NRV was replaced.

We trained personnel and helped establish standard operating procedures (SOPs)

Benefit

BENEFITS

Each borewell has been operational for >18 months, without failure.

Water accountability improved by 3% once faulty network components were replaced.

Health of the borewells and the correct water salinity has been maintained by ensuring water is extracted from the right borewell.
