The latest round of funding will be used to commercialize smart IoT and SaaS solutions that help businesses manage their water usage digitally, reduce groundwater footprint and comply with government regulations.

"The global smart water management opportunity is exceeding $50 billion per year. It has now become a standard business practice to manage water consumption efficiently using data.

With Dhaara Smart, managers can project an overall water budget plan for their organization, track their actual water use in comparison to that plan, identify the gaps, potential weaknesses and eventually take corrective actions. Bringing together IoT, data analytics and SaaS platforms into an integrated live water budgeting/auditing tool for the first time, the team is committed to helping businesses reduce their water risks and increase their water security, added the statement.
