Hyderabad’s Smart Sewer System to Prevent Fatalities

21 Feb 2025 CW Team

Hyderabad has introduced a smart sewer monitoring system designed to detect toxic gases and sewage overflows, reducing the risks associated with manual scavenging. Equipped with gas and water level sensors, the system identifies hazardous gases like methane, ammonia, and hydrogen sulfide while sending real-time alerts to authorities for swift intervention.

“The system is equipped with gas and water level sensors to detect toxic gases such as methane, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide while also identifying sewage overflows. It sends real-time alerts to authorities, enabling swift action and helping prevent manual scavenging deaths — an ongoing issue in cities like Hyderabad,” a university statement said.

The data is wirelessly transmitted to a cloud-based platform for continuous monitoring, ensuring timely action. With rapid urbanization straining outdated sewerage systems, this cost-effective and scalable solution is a significant step toward smart city waste management, the statement added.
