The Zonal Storage Water Supply System with Hydraulic Isolation Structure (ZS-HIS) addresses challenges in India's water supply systems, such as high non-revenue water (NRW) and inequitable distribution. Designed specifically for India's context, the system employs low-cost and maintenance-friendly solutions grounded in field hydraulics and rigorous field studies. Tested in Saphale, Palghar, Maharashtra, the technology demonstrates reliable water supply with adequate pressure. Applications include urban and rural water supply improvement aligned with the Jal Jeevan Mission. This technology benefits Urban Local Bodies (ULBs), Public Health Engineering Departments (PHED), and municipal corporations responsible for water system planning and operation.
