Consider the following pairs: 1. Tamara | Intelligent Waterbody Management Project 2. AMRUT 2.0 | Preserving surface and ground water bodies 3. PLASHBOT | Diffuser Aerators for bottom of water bodies How many of the above pairs are correctly matched?

Project TAMARA

• Ministry: Technology Development Board (TDB) of Ministry of Science & Technology.
• Project Title: Development and Commercialization of Intelligent Water Body Management System (IWMS)-TAMARA. Hence, pair 1 is correctly matched.
• It is a smart aeration system enhanced with sensors and IoT-based technology to manage water quality.
• Agency: M/s Bariflo Labs Private Limited, Odisha.
• This project is in line with AMRUT 2.0 mission which has the specific goal of preserving water bodies and promoting a circular water economy, aligning with the principles of Blue Economy.

This system comprises of several key elements

• Smart Sediment Aeration System: It helps to bring more oxygen to the bottom of water bodies.
• Smart Climate-Driven Water Quality Monitoring System: It helps to control the level of nutrients in the water and how much oxygen is in it.
• Smart Weed Harvester System (PLASHBOT): This system removes unwanted plants from water bodies. Hence, pair 3 is incorrectly matched.
• Communication System and Data Protection: This system uses a special kind of technology to send and receive data between devices.

AMRUT 2.0 Mission

• It is a step towards Aatma Nirbhar Bharat with aim of making the cities 'water secure' and providing functional water tap connections to all households. Hence, pair 2 is correctly matched.
• This Mission will be run as people’s program i.e. Jan Aandolan.
• Mission also targets to provide 100% sewage/ septage management in 500 AMRUT cities and will be paperless and monitored on a robust technology-based monitoring & evaluation platform.
