India, water supply services in urban and rural areas in India are provided mainly by public authorities. These authorities are mostly involved in operation and maintenance of the water supply schemes. When any additional fund becomes available, expansion of pipe network, additional house connections and repair works are taken up. But, there is an urgent need for upgradation of technologies in the water supply schemes. At present, there is not much effort for upgradation of technologies for treatment of water, measurement and control of system, increase in efficiency of pumping stations and water distribution network, etc. The author highlights some of the feasible technologies, which may be evaluated and adopted by water authorities. For technology upgradation, enormous works are needed in India, which in turn will necessitate research and generate employment and business opportunities to Industries. Keywords: Upgradation of Technology, Water Treatment, Water Quality Assessment, Smart Water Meters, Water Quality Sensor, Smart Water Grid.
