Ahmedabad's water

Narmada canal water, timed slots and hard borewells

AMC supplies treated canal water in fixed morning and evening slots, while many societies still lean on borewells that run hard and, in places, high in fluoride. We help you capture every slot and treat every source.

Most of Ahmedabad's municipal water is Narmada canal water, topped up with Mahi water through the Shedhi branch canal and treated at AMC's Kotarpur, Jaspur and Raska plants. It then leaves distribution stations in timed slots, so a sump in Navrangpura or a tower in Bodakdev has to capture it quickly. Borewells fill the gaps, but CGWB rates the City–Daskroi aquifer as over-exploited and reports fluoride above safe limits at many places. Devyami's level controllers, pressure systems and treatment plants are built for this mix: catch the slot, protect the pump, clean what the borewell brings up.

How water reaches you in Ahmedabad

  1. Step 1

    Narmada canals

    Raw water arrives from the Narmada main canal and the Dholka branch canal, with Mahi water coming in through the Shedhi branch canal.

  2. Step 2

    Three treatment plants

    Kotarpur, Jaspur and Raska together treat around 1,400 MLD before trunk mains carry it across the city.

  3. Step 3

    Distribution stations

    More than 200 underground tanks with pump houses feed over 4,000 km of distribution pipes, zone by zone and slot by slot.

  4. Step 4

    Your sump

    Water lands in your building's underground sump, and a pump lifts it to the overhead tank that actually feeds your taps.

  5. Where we take over

    Your tank, automated

    Sensors read every tank, an APCON controller runs and protects the pump, and the app shows it all on your phone.

Ahmedabad's water, honestly

What Ahmedabad throws at your water system, and the fix for each

Supply arrives in short slots

AMC releases water from its distribution stations at set times, and a slot can shrink or vanish when a trunk main needs repair. In August 2026 a leak on the Western Trunk Main near Sabarmati cut evening supply in wards including Naranpura, Navrangpura, Paldi and Vasna.

How we fix it

A level controller starts the transfer pump as soon as the sump has water and fills each overhead tank in turn, so nobody has to stay up for the slot. Dry-run protection stops the motor the moment the sump empties.

Sewage ingress after line breaks

In late May 2026 sewage entered a drinking water line in the Ghatlodia area of Gota ward after a pipeline breakdown, and residents of nine housing societies reported illness. AMC repaired the fault, tested water samples and began inspecting and cleaning underground storage tanks.

How we fix it

A point-of-entry filter with UV disinfection on the sump outlet adds a barrier between the municipal line and every tap in the building. We size it to your peak flow and fit a bypass so servicing never cuts supply.

Hard, fluoride-prone borewell water

CGWB puts groundwater development in the City–Daskroi taluka above 100 percent and reports fluoride above the 1.5 mg/l limit at many places in the district. It also lists declining water levels and increasing instances of high fluoride among the area's main groundwater problems.

How we fix it

We test your borewell first, then specify a softener for hardness and an RO stage for drinking water where fluoride or TDS run high. Multigrade filtration ahead of both keeps the media working longer.

Waterlogged basements in cloudbursts

On 22 July 2026 AMC recorded a citywide average of about 163 mm of rain in a single day, with Bakrol, Sarkhej and Bopal crossing 250 mm. Forty-three housing societies reported waterlogging, and the Makarba and Akhbarnagar underpasses stayed shut.

How we fix it

Float-controlled dewatering pumps in basement sumps start on their own as water rises. On a twin motor driver the two pumps share duty, and the standby takes over if one motor trips.

Canal repairs trim the supply

Before the 2026 monsoon, Sardar Sarovar Narmada Nigam regulated canal flows for about ten days to repair the lining, and AMC expected a shortfall of around 50–60 MLD at Kotarpur. Standby pumps and borewells were pressed into service to keep distribution balanced.

How we fix it

Live tank levels and low-level alerts on your phone show early when a slot comes up short, so you can ration, switch to the borewell or book a tanker before the tank runs dry.

Through the year

Ahmedabad's water, season by season

Summer

May highs average above 41°C and demand peaks just as pre-monsoon canal repairs can trim supply, so storage and alerts earn their keep.

Dry-run protection and usage alerts →

Monsoon

A single July 2026 downpour averaged about 163 mm across the city, flooding underpasses and western societies, which is why basement sumps need pumps that start themselves.

Dewatering pumps and UV treatment →

Winter

January nights drop to around 12°C, the season when a solar water heater or heat pump does most of its work.

Watch it run

Watch a building in Ahmedabad run its own water

This is the same diagram our customers see in the app. The sump and the overhead tank are both sensed, and one APCON controller decides when the pump runs.

  • The pump starts when the overhead tank is low, but only if the sump has water to give
  • It stops at your full level, so the tank never overflows
  • Dry run, overload and voltage faults trip it before the motor is damaged
  • Your phone shows each level, each pump run and each alert as it happens

Questions from Ahmedabad

What people here ask us

Our society in Bodakdev misses part of the AMC slot at night. What should we automate?

Put a level controller on the sump-to-overhead transfer so the pump starts whenever the sump has water and stops when the tanks are full. If you have several wings, our multi-tank level controller fills each overhead tank in order from one pump set. Add dry-run and voltage protection so the motor survives the end of every slot.

Do I need a softener or an RO for borewell water in Bopal or Shela?

It depends on the test. A softener handles the hardness that scales geysers and fittings, while RO handles high TDS and fluoride for drinking and cooking. Many borewell homes need both, with RO only on the kitchen line. We test first and size the plant to your daily use.

How do we stop our basement parking from flooding in heavy rain?

A dewatering sump with two submersible pumps on our twin motor driver handles most building basements. The pumps start on rising water, alternate duty so both stay healthy, and the standby takes over if one trips. Pair it with app alerts so your facility team knows the moment water starts coming in.

Do you install and service Devyami systems in Ahmedabad?

Yes. Tell us about your building, society or factory and our engineers design the system around Ahmedabad's water. A Devyami dealer or installer then installs, commissions and services it locally, and every connected controller can be checked remotely through our platform. The first site consultation is free.

Will the automation keep working without internet or after a power cut?

Yes. Level switching, pressure control, schedules and every motor protection run inside the controller on your wall, not in the cloud. The internet only carries the live view and alerts to your phone. The controller keeps its own real-time clock and remembers its delays through a power cut.

Can you automate my existing pumps and tanks without new wiring?

Usually, yes. The APCON Motor Driver takes the old starter panel’s place on the wall, on the pump and tanks you already have. Wireless level sensors reach terrace and underground tanks where running a cable would mean breaking walls. A single-pump retrofit is usually done in a few hours.
