DWAS · Defensible Water Accounting System

The system that closes your
water books, every month.

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.

Full audit pack ready

A CGWA inspection with 48 hours' notice. The Water Accountant produced extraction history, calibration certificates, signed statements and a gap analysis in under four hours.

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 time→Creates an audit-grade Water Receipt for every reading
Generates dashboards→Maintains a reconciled Water Ledger
Reports consumption estimates→Produces signed Monthly Water Statements
Shows trends→Closes monthly accounts — like a set of books
Supports visibility→Creates a named, accountable Water Accountant
Detects problems→Builds 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.

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.
