Mohammed, do you have access to utility bills for the building? Those should have usage numbers.

Yes, i can manage to get it from the college authorities, but how i can calculate the usage from that?

I think there should be usage numbers on the bills themselves—how many liters per month, for example.

Yes it will be there, but majority of the water is groundwater which is pumped out and store in tanks, so i think its not the exact usage of water in that particular building.

Mohammed, this credit is an incentive to add a water meter to your building—so you'll need to do that in order to get this point.

Yeah, i will add a Piezometer,
So that i will get the usage,
From that i can analyse the pressure distribution in pipe and reduce it accordingly.
