How Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Will Underpin Asset Management Of The Future

Aging infrastructure is by far the most recognized challenge for municipal water systems. In many places across the country, pipes and valves have been in the ground more than 50 years. While this has led to a dramatic increase in failures, the typical municipality only has the budget to repair about 1 percent of its distribution system assets in any year. That’s where newer artificial intelligence and machine learning (AI/ML) solutions can play an outsized role.
