Background
Water systems depend on many actors, datasets, and digital tools working together. Yet information often remains fragmented across departments, programmes, and platforms, making it harder to coordinate action and respond effectively. As digital adoption grows across the water sector, there is an opportunity to create shared digital foundations that enable systems to communicate, data to flow more easily, and innovation to happen at scale.
SOLUTION
Our Approach
Arghyam works with governments, technology partners, and sector institutions to advance the development of Digital Public Infrastructure for water.
As the DPI partner to the Rural WASH Partners Forum and through our collaboration with SPM-NIWAS, we support efforts to shape the conceptual and technical foundations of interoperable digital systems for the sector.
Alongside this national engagement, we work with state governments to test and demonstrate how shared digital building blocks can strengthen water governance. In Assam, our partnership with the Public Health Engineering Department has focused on piloting digital tools that improve monitoring and transparency. We also collaborate with organisations such as People Plus AI and Reverie to explore how emerging technologies can support frontline workers and improve the use of data in decision-making.
