Marginal Cost of New Water Supply

Communities require new water supply sources for various reasons. When utilities consider new supply sources several options come to mind such as seawater desalination, potable reuse and more. But – one simple idea is often left out of the mix: Finding and repairing leaks in the existing system. This is a significant new beneficial water supply source.

The Importance of Publishing Data

Data is king. It is arguably the most important commodity that exists today. Without data there is no AI. Data is the foundation of knowledge and understanding. There is only one thing worse than no data and that is bad data. It is incumbent on all of us in the water business to ensure that good quality, valid data is published on a regular basis to move the industry forward in a positive manner.

The Power of Water

Flowing water is unbelievably powerful. A small river can deeply etch rock into a canyon, turn an arid desert into a Garden of Eden and generate enough power to electrify a city. Focusing political will, regulatory mandates and infrastructure funding on water supply and management issues can solve many problems we face as a society.

Benchmarking Success for Fixed-base Leak Detection Systems

Leaking water pipes are ubiquitous and increasing as the age of the underground linear assets increase. There are a number of techniques that utilities can use to detect leaks before they surface and can be repaired without causing catastrophic damage.

How to reduce NRW in an efficient and Cost-effective manner

A unique acoustic monitoring system, which combines IoT sensors and advanced AI algorithms, allows water utilities all around the globe to detect leaks very early in a straightforward manner. This significantly reduces their operational and maintenance expenses and most importantly, saves water.
