Why do we have to pay attention to automating the washroom processes?

As per the latest report shared by the Ministry of drinking water & sanitization, it is estimated that around 89 percent of the Indian population has access to toilets & washrooms. Considering that an average individual uses a washroom 5-6 times a day, we may almost end up flushing 118 crore litres of water on a daily basis. 118 crores of fresh water which directly goes down the drains, freshwater which could have been easily utilized for other purposes, freshwater which our country is really deprived of.

It is also necessary to consider that a majority of this wasted water is due to human negligence like leaving the tap running for long or even forgetting to check if the taps are properly closed before leaving the washroom. Similarly even leaking taps constitute to the wastage of water as we have no control over the leakage unless it is being fixed.


How can we solve this problem?

With the latest technological advancements in water conservation & usage monitoring systems, washroom automation is the key to not only save cost but also save our planet from the crises that we have created. Touchless technology & sensor-enabled fittings have revolutionized the way washrooms are being built in the 21st century
