DWAS · Defensible Water Accounting System

Three layers beneath
every defensible number.

A water account is only as defensible as the instrument that measured it, the ledger that recorded it, and the intelligence that watches it. DWAS is built as three engineered layers — measurement, reconciliation, intelligence.

Measurable results

What changes when water
is properly accounted for.

₹38 L

Unmetered loss discovered

A specialty chemicals plant had no meter at a cooling-circuit junction. DWAS reconciliation identified the gap in the first monthly close. Recovered within 90 days.

The architecture

Measure once. Reconcile
continuously. Watch always.

Why DWAS exists

The question water monitoring
was never designed to answer.

Traditional monitoring asks: How much water flowed?

DWAS asks: Can this number be traced, reconciled, signed, and defended at audit?

That difference — between visibility and accountability — is why DWAS exists.

Monitors flow at a point in timeCreates an audit-grade Water Receipt for every reading
Generates dashboardsMaintains a reconciled Water Ledger
Reports consumption estimatesProduces signed Monthly Water Statements
Shows trendsCloses monthly accounts — like a set of books
Supports visibilityCreates a named, accountable Water Accountant
Detects problemsBuilds a defensible audit response — on 24 hours' notice

Most systems help you see water. DWAS helps you account for it.

Layer 01 · Trusted Measurement

Dhaara Smart Pro.
Legal-metrology grade.

The instrument every defensible number starts from: a patented ultrasonic meter, type-approved under legal metrology and OIML R49, calibrated to a NABL-accredited ISO 17025 lab — sealed against tampering, weatherproofed to IP68, and re-verified in the field every year.

In-house manufacturing

Legal-metrology approved.
NABL ISO 17025 certified.

Dhaara Smart Pro is designed, calibrated and manufactured in-house at our dedicated facility in Hyderabad, Telangana.

One of the few manufacturers in India to hold a Legal Metrology water meter manufacturing licence and NABL ISO 17025 accreditation for producing ultrasonic smart water meters — covering the full range from DN25 to DN300.

Funded & supported by the Technology Development Board, Department of Science & Technology, Government of India.

01

Installation & commissioning

Monitoring points engineered and installed per ISO 4064-5 drawings — straight-run, orientation and siting that make the reading trustworthy.

ISO 4064-5 · WISE survey
02

Water Receipts

Every reading becomes an audit-grade receipt carrying source, destination, timestamp, meter identity, calibration status and traceability.

Daily · the atomic entry
03

Statements & Ledger

Receipts reconcile into monthly Water Statements and a continuous Water Ledger — every source against every use.

Reconciled · continuous
04

Monthly books closing

UFW frozen, statement signed and closed before the 7th — a separate, disciplined close, exactly like financial books.

Closed by the 7th · signed

Layer 02 · Every Reading Becomes Accountable

From a single reading
to a signed account.

Measurement alone is data. This layer turns it into a defensible record — installed to ISO 4064-5, captured as audit-grade receipts, reconciled into statements and a ledger, and closed like a set of books.

Why this layer matters

  • Provenance — every litre traceable to a calibrated source
  • Reconciliation — inputs and outputs balanced, not estimated
  • Closure — a frozen monthly figure that can't be revised away
  • Defensibility — a signed record any auditor can follow

This is the layer that turns metering into accounting — the difference between data and evidence.

The atomic unit

Every drop becomes
an accounting entry.

Every Water Receipt carries source, destination, timestamp, meter identity, calibration status and traceability — then rolls, unbroken, into the record you can defend.

Every Water Receipt rolls into the ledger; every month closes into a signed statement. Continuous, reconciled, defensible.

Layer 03 · The Account Never Sleeps

The account,
watched every day.

A signed monthly statement is the record. Dhaara Budget turns it into live operational intelligence — so a gap is caught the day it opens, not when the auditor arrives.

Daily UFW budget

Unaccounted-for water tracked against a daily budget — not discovered at month-end.

Zone-level visibility

Consumption broken down by source, treatment zone and discharge — not one aggregate number.

True water cost

Cost per kL by source — groundwater, tanker, municipal — surfaced automatically, every day.

Threshold alerts

Configurable limits on UFW, flow variance and efficiency ratios. Alerts before SLAs are missed.

The right data, to the right person, at the right time — so the books always close clean.

One account, every obligation

Six audiences.
One DWAS account.

DWAS produces a single audit-grade water account that satisfies every framework simultaneously — BRSR, CDP, CGWA, PCB, supply chain and board — without separate data collection for each.
