Water Loss and Leak Detection Podcasts

  1. Water Losses And Efficiency 10/24/2023

    In this episode of Water Experts Unfiltered, Bentley expert Julio Issao Kuwajima discusses how strategies to manage real and apparent losses can increase the energy efficiency, increase revenue and reduce emissions, thus improving operational efficiency in the long term. 

  2. Making Conscious Decisions Based On Data 11/12/2021

    Elly Perets, CEO of Asterra, sat down with the Water Online editorial team at WEFTEC 2021 in Chicago and shared his thoughts on how to advance the water industry forward.

  3. A New Solution To Attack Non-Revenue Water And Other Challenges 7/4/2020

    Aside from the current pandemic, water utilities face many challenges, including aging water infrastructure, non-revenue water, leaks, and main breaks. To help combat these issues, AMERICAN Flow Control and Trimble recently teamed up to release the AFC SEMPER Remote Pressure Monitor (RPM).

  4. Leveraging Water Data: The Future Is Here! 7/16/2019

    Technology is on pace to reach a milestone of 26 billion devices connected through the Internet of Things (IoT) by the end of 2019. In the water industry, IoT capabilities are enabling utilities to leverage meter reading data collected via secure private cellular networks to satisfy multiple purposes — increasing its value exponentially. In this Water Talk interview, Kristie Anderson from Badger Meter discusses how advances in smart solutions, smart water, and smart city technology are delivering real-world benefits that seemed like futuristic promises just a few short years ago.

  5. Lowering The Cost Of Leak Detection 7/15/2019

    Aging infrastructure is shaping up to be an enormous burden on municipalities. The next 30 years will require a $1 trillion investment just to keep up with the replacement curve for water distribution pipes. At the same time, leak targeting and physical condition assessment of existing networks is an expensive proposition. In this Water Talk interview, Doug Hatler, chief revenue officer for Fracta, discusses the application of artificial intelligence in advanced screening solutions to bring those evaluation costs down.

  6. Turning To The Skies To Tackle Water Loss 7/3/2019

    As aging pipes continue to deteriorate, non-revenue water is growing into a pretty staggering challenge for the water utility industry. Many municipalities try to tackle the problem by walking the many miles of their drinking water distribution lines with leak detectors. However, an advanced solution is emerging that can pinpoint these leaks from the skies. In this Water Talk interview, James Perry, vice president of business development for Utilis Corp., discussed new technology that searches for leaks using a remote sensing device on a satellite 400 miles above the earth.

  7. Don’t Overlook The Role Of Leaky Mains In Water Loss 7/2/2019

    Leaking distribution lines are a significant contributor to municipal water loss, but transmission mains have the potential to leak every bit as much, and sometimes even more. These leaks can go on for years without being found. In this Water Talk interview, Mike Funk, business development manager for the East Coast for Hydromax USA, discusses an advanced inline leak detection solution available to address the water loss problem.

  8. Out Of This World Leak Detection 8/3/2016

    Solving the problem of non-revenue water starts with leak detection. Many utilities live with leaks because of the time, labor, and expense involved in detecting, prioritizing and fixing them.  

  9. Technologies For Detecting Water Loss 7/11/2016

    As water loss continues to concern many utilities, American Leak Detection’s franchise business model continues to “plug many a hole.” As Adam Gray, Director of Marketing for American Leak Detection, explains in this Water Online Radio interview, the franchise model is effective on numerous levels, whether it be providing the leak detection expertise that a utility doesn’t necessarily have on staff or allowing leak detection experts to share their insights and knowledge across the franchise network.

  10. Non-Invasive Assessment Of Buried Pipe 7/2/2015

    There can be few things worse than having your customer-base in a drought-plagued state like California watch as thousands of gallons of freshly-treated drinking water erupt from a burst main. In a world where water is becoming increasingly precious, utilities are becoming more proactive in identifying leaks and fixing problems before catastrophes occur.
