As per the United Nations World Water Development Report of 2018, approximately 6 billion people will be impacted by clean water scarcity by 2050. Due to the rise in population, several parts of the world experience water crises as their groundwater table levels are decreased. In addition to this, wasting water through unwanted usage has become one of the habitual activities of the human population. To resolve this issue, an intelligent solution is proposed using water metering in this paper. A novel approach to performing automated water-metering by providing the water inlet and outlet information from the locality to the Water Distribution Board (WDB) is proposed in this paper. This smart metering method is distinct from currently available commercial models with a simple hardware setup for water inlet and outlet measurement and a mobile application. The proposed scheme significantly decreases overhead expenses on the water distribution board in handling water meter readings and billing water consumption. This scheme aims to make the consumers conserve water and become active participants in the water management system. This also helps in minimizing the unwanted use of water either from the corporation or from borewells at their localities and thus gives a great lead to water conservation and saving the lives of the future generation.
