KWA introduces improvised water stethoscope to avert indiscriminate digging up of roads to detect blocks
The Hindu
All officers from superintending engineer up to assistant executive engineer associated with the maintenance have been asked to carry a water stethoscope henceforth
Digging up even freshly-surfaced roads in search of blocks in the pipeline may soon become a thing of the past thanks to an improvised water stethoscope developed by the Ernakulam circle of the Kerala Water Authority (KWA).
The water stethoscope is essentially a pressure gauge that could read pressure to the minutest point of 0.01 kilogram per square centimetre. It has a hosepipe that can be attached to the main pipeline that could be accessed by removing the union of independent water meters upstream of the area experiencing shortage of water supply.
