Current Water Distribution Problems

Water distribution service problems and why conserving this resource critical today:

  • Globally, the total annual cost of water lost through leaky pipes is estimated at USD $14billion
  • 1 in 5 people lack access to clean drinking water
  • The scarcity of water is evident today and becoming even more scarce as demand continues to rise
  • Water is becoming quite a costly but extremely necessary resource
  • In legacy systems today, cities are losing water in their network, but cannot determine the location of the leak without costly inspections
  • For most municipalities and utilities today, due to capital requirements and budgetary caps a complete, one-time modernization of the network is not realistic
  • With an antiquated infrastructure you have an enormous blind spot, meaning you have no overview of the current network status as well as no access to real time data
  • Without real-time network data, you cannot act on and satisfy upcoming shortages
  • The control of water distribution and pressure is currently limited
