Konya Metropolitan Municipality KOSKI General Directorate continues to be a pioneer in Smart City Technology.
In Konya, the largest province in Turkey in terms of surface area, the KOSKI General Directorate, utilizing new technologies and innovative approaches, has begun implementing the “Smart Water Meter System” that enables remote reading via radio frequency within the scope of the “Remote Reading Meters Project in Green Areas.”
The introduced system brings along many conveniences. Previously, the water meters in green areas were removed in October to avoid the adverse effects of winter conditions and reinstalled in May. However, with the implementation of the Smart Water Meter System, these meters can now function continuously without the need for any intervention. Thanks to this system, issues such as water freezing in winter, meters bursting due to high pressure, and becoming unusable due to deformation are prevented.
Additionally, the system helps to prevent water loss and leaks in green areas, thereby preserving the water reserves.
Moreover, the system contributes to an aesthetic appearance by removing unsightly protections such as concrete enclosures in green areas. In places where accessing water meter information was difficult, the system utilizes modules installed on the meters to speed up the workflow, enabling access to data from all meters within a range of 150-250 meters. This leads to significant time savings and efficiency improvements.
