Also because of changing habits of the users there is tremendous pressure on municipal co-operation. The increased demand is responsible for more waste water generation, having negative impact on environment. Hence increase in water efficiency by integrating appropriate methodologies would suffice the associated problem. A smart user in the city is armed with elementary infrastructure to give a decent quality of life, a clean and ecological environment through use of some smart solutions. However with awareness amongst the people and the policies of new government for Swachchha Bharat Abhiyan, the sanitation component in the rural areas is also gaining lot of attention. After studying the feasibility and effectiveness of many methodologies, a prosperous solution for reducing the pressure on municipal co-operation in an integrated way, in turn would be effective for smarter buildings and hence the cities.
