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.

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.

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.
