Scarcity of Drinking water has been a major issue over the years across the globe and various steps have been taken by the concerned authorities all over the world to make drinking water readily available to everyone. Especially for a developing country like India with a huge population, managing water resources becomes all the more important.Most of the states of India have been suffering from water shortage over the years and Maharashtra is one of them. Recently, in April 2016, Latur suffered from one of the heaviest water crisis in history due to deficient rainfall. Speaking of Pune district, as many as 96 villages in scarcity hit areas asked for supply of water through tankers in June 2016. The district administration deployed 147 tankers in scarcity hit areas to ensure daily supply of drinking water. About 3.14 lakh residents in 96 villages and about 837 waadis are still dependent on tankers to meet their daily requirement of water. As of now, out of 13 talukas in Pune district administration has deployed tankers in 11 talukas.

INTRODUCTION With two-third of the planet’s surface covered by water and the human body consisting of a three-forth percent of it. This fact provides Although significant effort is usually exerted in teaching at higher education institutions, the outcomes at the end may not be in-line with the effort exerted at the first place. The aim of our project is to regulate and optimize the water supply through tankers in the areas which need them the most and ensure that whenever a request is made, the nearest water tanker reaches to the consumer in the shortest possible time. The consumer's request the operating station for water tankers. A water tanker will be issued to a particular location only if the combined water requirement of the consumers is according to a minimum value specified and this value depends on the population density of the area making the request. The application at operating station will issue tanker-men the water requirement order and the nearest tanker to the consumer will be allocated the request. The tanker reaches the consumer within the stipulated time which is decided depending on the distance between the filling station and the consumer’s location. From the above discussion, it is clear that Maharashtra has been suffering from Water shortage and crisis in the last few years and it is very important to regulate the supply of Water Tankers. There is no well-defined application for this purpose. The aim of this research is to build a digitalized solution to regulate the supply of water tankers, especially in the rural areas of Maharashtra. The solution consists of an Android Application which will serve as the front–end and this Android Application will communicate with a Java-based server. In this research, more emphasis has been laid on the design of server’s algorithm. With this system, the efficiency of the water tank supply system can be largely enhanced. II. LITERATURE SURVEY As discussed above, Maharashtra has been facing water crisis continuously in the last 3 years and it has been the rural areas and their Most of the states of India have been suffering from water shortage over the years and Maharashtra is one of them. Recently, in April 2016, Latur suffered from one of the heaviest water crisis in history due to deficient rainfall. Speaking of Pune district, as many as 96 villages in scarcity hit areas asked for supply of water through tankers in June 2016. The district administration deployed 147 tankers in scarcity hit areas to ensure daily supply of drinking water. About 3.14 lakh residents in 96 villages and
