Interesting. I like the idea of smart metering devices. A lot of people, especially in Mumbai, don't track consumption at all. Do you see changing the mindset of people w.r.t. conservation of water particularly challenging? Some areas

This is what worries me. And I do hope app stores start protecting apps against these organised campaigns. In this case, even a simple CAPTCHA would've worked since people who aren't tech savvy were following step-by-step instruct
