‘BookWater’ Revolutionizes the Water Delivery Industry with IoT-Powered QR Codes for Quality Assurance.

BookWater, founded in 2022 by the dynamic duo of Bharath Govindaraghavan and Balachander G., along with their friends Hariharan Vedamurthy and Sameer Bharat Ram, has revolutionized water delivery in Chennai. Graduating in environmental law and electronics engineering, the brothers sensed an opportunity to bring order to the unorganized water delivery sector.

Chennai’s Water Challenge

In Chennai, where groundwater is often polluted or saline, water cans are essential for daily life. However, these cans, selling over 25 lakh units daily, conceal a hidden problem. Most cans become cloudy due to overuse and sun exposure, releasing harmful microplastics into the water. Microplastics are known to cause various health issues, including endocrine disruption and cancer.

IoT to the Rescue

Determined to address these issues, the brothers introduced the concept of “connected cans” using IoT technology. Each ISI-rated plastic can is equipped with a QR code, allowing customers to track its quality and history. BookWater’s sensors monitor water quality at copacker locations and provide real-time information to users through the app. The QR code also allows tracking the can’s movement from the copacker to the customer location.

Promoting Sustainability

BookWater goes a step further by upcycling cans after they have been used up to 30 times. Partnering with companies like Ecoline, they transform old cans into sustainable products, including clothing like jackets, blazers, t-shirts, and bottoms.

Expanding Reach and Impact

Currently serving 3,000 users in Chennai, BookWater has ambitious expansion plans. Within the next two years, they aim to extend their services to Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, and Kolkata, ensuring safe and clean water access to a broader population.
