& Benefits

4. IoT Solution : Overview
Access to water is a fundamental human right.
Nearly 70% of the world’s population is now living in cities
and almost half of the global population is expected to live
in water-stressed areas by 2025.
Cities face a growing range of adversities and challenges in
the 21st century, from the effects of increasing migrant
populations to climate changes, inadequate infrastructure
and pandemics. The availability of safe drinking water is
prominent among them.
Safe drinking water supply for urban
areas

5. IoT Solution : Overview
 IoT company installs water systems countrywide
 The IoT system allows customers to pay for water at the
point of use, and ensure that maintainance is provided
long after installation,
 IoT company is connected to a global network via IoT
node. To access the tap, customers must purchase the
water credit through the IoT company mobile app.
 For those who don’t own smartphones, they can purchase
water tags powered by NFC, through which they can buy credit
by tapping their tag against a shopkeeper’s smartphone.
 To access the tap, customers use their NFC tag to touch and pay
at the tap, which deducts and records the amount of water used,
and they have access to clean, safe drinking water.

Feature Requirement Comment
Network Area  Wide
 Local
• Wide coverage: for purchasing water credit via a
smartphone
• Local coverage: for opening and closing the tap
Spectrum  Dedicated
 Shared
• Dedicated: for mobile payement
• Shared: for accessing the tap
Battery life  Long Sensors may be placed in remote points of the cities
and need to have long battery life
Connectivity cost  Low Associated to the low bandwidth requirement
Module cost  High
 Medium
• High: for developping countries
• Medium: for developped countries
Bandwidth  Low Data needed to control the tap opening and closure is
limited
Technologies : NFC, RFID, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, 3G

13. Conclusion

14. IoT Solution : Conclusion
Technology, and in particular the Internet Of
Things, is now helping to address clean water
distribution challenges and to improve sanitary
conditions in developping countries.
People in developing countries (especially in Sub
Saharan Africa), have the biggest access restrictions
to safe drinking-water. And new technology
solutions such as IoT are a powerful weapon to
fight this huge barrier.
