Re-supplying water after an earthquake

Earthquakes often break the water mains in affected localities.. The broken mains remove an important source of water for firefighters and the public. Firefighters sometimes use a series of pumper trucks to move water long distances through hoses. In a system with manual control, if an operator leaves the pump, the relay will probably fail. Because it is operationally challenging, relay pumping is not used as often as it might be. A solution can be found in a wire based Ethernet controlling the pumps. Such a system using the proposed network will work even if the operator leaves the site. This digitally controlled relay pumping system can be used to supply water to first responders, and civilians. It can be used as an infrastructure restoration strategy. It is also useful in delivering water to fight fires in water deficient areas.
