The drinking-water side reports continuously from 148 distribution stations and the city says it recovered 23 million litres a day. On the sewage side, a 2026 procurement notice records that the pumps are still worked by hand.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is the operator's or the city's own reporting — an official report, dataset or press release. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went.

Flow and pressure sensors report from the Amdavad Municipal Corporation's drinking-water network into a SCADA system covering the treatment plants and 148 water distribution stations, with a dashboard, a mobile app, and automatic alerts to the responsible engineers when a parameter drifts outside its set range. The corporation states the purpose plainly — find leaks and hold pressure in the pipes, rather than dispatch crews on complaints. The wastewater network is a different story: a World Bank-supported market engagement notice from January 2026 records that only some sewage treatment plants and sewage pumping stations transmit to the central wastewater SCADA and that the pumps at the sewage and terminal pumping stations are manually operated.
📊 Impact
The corporation reports roughly ₹60 million (₹6 crore) saved annually and 23 million litres a day of water recovered that had previously been wasted. Both are the operator's own figures, relayed by trade press; the atlas found no independent audit of either.
🎓 Lesson
One city, two networks, two different rungs of the same ladder: the drinking-water side senses continuously and alerts a named engineer, the sewage side is read by people who then work the pumps by hand. 'The city has SCADA' is never a complete answer — the useful question is which network, and whether anything downstream moves without a human.

The honest counterweight, and the current-status check. States that 'data of some of the STPs and SPS is being transmitted at Central Wastewater SCADA' and that the pumps 'are manually operated', and that AMC intends to 'upgrade the Wastewater SCADA system and hook up all STPs, SPS and TSPS along with Sewer network' under the Gujarat Resilient Cities Partnership: Ahmedabad City Resilience Project.
