In today’s modern world, billion and billions of dollars are spent on upgrading the electricity–grids; however the delivery of fresh water to our homes also requires an equal and much required upgrade. IBM has looked into the matter with their smart-water management plans.  They have put together a team of researchers to study how information and technology can sniff out a new improved manner of delivering fresh water. The main objective is to plot a technique to maximize the efficiency of the 1% of fresh water that is available on earth. Even in developed countries like the U.S. the pipelines carrying water are seriously outdated, some of them are even made of wood. This results in a loss of at least 25-40 percent of water, which is a huge margin, when nearly half the water goes down the drain during delivery itself.
