Home pageSequestr is proud to partner with Expert365 on the groundbreaking HECTOR [Hygiene & Environmental Care for Tanks and Overhead Reservoirs] project, a pioneering initiative that is revolutionizing sustainable water management in rural India, using cutting-edge IoT and AI-ML technology. This project stands out not only for its innovative approach but also for its remarkable efficiency and scalability, marking it as a milestone in environmental stewardship and sustainable development for India.
In partnership with Expert365, Sequestr is excited to be part of the HECTOR project, a groundbreaking initiative set to transform water access in Tamil Nadu's rural regions. Led by Dr. Vishy Karri, a renowned figure with extensive expertise in mechatronics, IoT, AI, and water management, the company has garnered significant traction. This collaboration is more than an environmental cause; it's a beacon of hope and innovation, leveraging advanced technology to ensure scalable, efficient solutions in sustainable water management for the people of India.
The disparity in clean water access in Tamil Nadu's rural areas is not just a challenge; it's a crisis. Traditional water purification methods, like boiling with wood fuel, are inefficient and environmentally damaging. The requirement for labour and the unreliable availability of fuel needed for water purification have debilitating impacts on both the local economy and the everyday lives of community members. Enter The HECTOR Project: led by Expert365, which introduces a revolutionary solution to this crisis. By installing automated chlorination units and UV disinfection systems, HECTOR is making a substantial leap in resolving water issues that have long plagued these communities.
The cornerstone of the HECTOR project is its cutting-edge IoT and AI-ML technology. This system dynamically monitors water quality, ensuring purity and safety in real time. The technology works by leveraging Tank 365's patented IoT-driven sensory data, combined with real-time weather data, to estimate pathogen likelihood in water. It then activates auto disinfection using appropriate UV dosage and chlorination, ensuring the water is safe for consumption.
Vishy Karri of Expert365 emphasizes that the HECTOR project is more than just about providing clean water; it's about instilling a sense of trust and reliability in rural communities through efficient, transparent water quality monitoring. This technology not only purifies water but also provides real-time data on water quality and quantity, including the amount of carbon avoided, making it a holistic, and more importantly, a local solution for sustainable water management. Expert365's innovative efforts were highlighted when it was ranked among the top 25 most innovative companies by CIO magazine in the APAC region, reflecting its commitment to engineering excellence via impactful technological advancements.
The availability of consistently clean water significantly transforms the lives of these rural communities, particularly in these regions plagued by sporadic droughts or unsafe supply. The HECTOR project not only mitigates the prevalence of waterborne diseases and alleviates the strain on local health services but also conserves time typically expended in collecting fuel for burning. Furthermore, with the early implementations of HECTOR, these communities have experienced a decline in health-related issues, such as waterborne diseases, culminating in an enhanced overall quality of life.
HECTOR's multifaceted impact is perfectly aligned with several UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as No Poverty, Good Health and Well-being, Clean Water and Sanitation, and Climate Action. This alignment highlights the project's comprehensive approach to not only improving direct health conditions but also its role in environmental conservation and community empowerment.
The success of HECTOR is amplified by strategic partnerships, leveraging networks and expertise to scale the solution rapidly. This expansion underscores our vision to replicate and scale the HECTOR model in other regions facing similar challenges, creating a ripple effect of positive change brought on by clean water.
