Bengaluru's water utility BWSSB has agreed to a year-long pilot with startups SmartTerra and Solinas to cut water loss. SmartTerra uses acoustic sensors and AI analytics to pinpoint underground leaks without digging; Solinas runs robots through pipes to find defects. A Titan Company grant funds it, with Villgro as incubation partner.
