Efficient Water Pumping in Indian Municipalities

Municipal water pumping systems in India are often inefficiently designed and maintained, leading to high energy consumption and costs for municipalities. Replacing outdated pumps with efficient models can reduce energy usage by 20-25%. Several municipal DSM projects in India have successfully replaced hundreds of pump sets, completing on or ahead of schedule and saving significant amounts of energy. Benefits to municipalities include reduced costs, expanded services, and more effective management of water networks.

Municipal Demand Side Management

(MuDSM) – Water Pumping


Overview
The majority of Indian Municipality water pumping system and infrastructure is inefficient designed.
Inefficiency persist in operation and maintenance. As a result, energy consumption of water pumping
is high, and municipalities spend large amount of their revenue on purchasing energy for local public
services.
The use of efficient pumping system can help in reducing the energy usage between 20 to 25%. For
instance, replace the inefficient pumping system with energy efficient pumping system.
