With Dhaara Smart, managers can project an overall water budget plan for their organization, track their actual water use in comparison to that plan, identify the gaps, potential weaknesses and eventually take corrective actions. Bringing together IoT, data analytics and SaaS platforms into an integrated live water budgeting/auditing tool for the first time, the team is committed to helping businesses reduce their water risks and increase their water security, added the statement.
