AMI, AMR, and Metering Features

91. Hamad International Airport Reduces Leaks By 60% 12/3/2020

    The airport had to deal with a large volume of non-registered water in its extensive water distribution networks. In the light of this situation, the implementation of Idrica’s services and technology managed to boost efficiency in the facilities. The results included a 60% reduction in the number of leaks and a 20% drop in maintenance costs.

92. How Artificial Intelligence And Machine Learning Will Underpin Asset Management Of The Future 12/7/2020

    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 for 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% 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.

93. Smart Water Network Innovations: Getting Ahead Of The Curve 6/10/2020

    As upward pressure on public agency services costs — cities, water agencies, etc. — continues to increase, utilities must get smarter. Progressive leaders are looking for forward-thinking smart city/smart agency initiatives. These include scalable communications networks with open architecture that can grow with their communities.

94. The Hidden Cost Of Water Leaks 7/22/2025

    Every day in the U.S., an estimated 6 billion gallons of water is lost due to leaks in our water distribution systems. That’s enough to meet the needs of 60 million people—and it’s not just your water that’s being lost.

95. What Is Noninvasive Leak Detection? 3/19/2025

    By utilizing advanced technologies to monitor water lines, utilities can detect leaks in an efficient and cost-effective manner.

96. Why Reducing Non-Revenue Water Matters For Water Utilities 7/31/2025

    In today's challenging environment, water utilities face mounting pressure to operate more efficiently while maintaining high service levels and managing aging infrastructure. At the heart of these challenges lies a critical issue: non-revenue water (NRW). 

97. Battery Operated Magmeter Provides Reliable Flow Rate Measurements In Remote Areas 4/27/2023

    A municipal water district had questioned the accuracy of their water meter readings and, after testing, they found that the billing amounts were too low. Discover the solution that they chose to provide reliable flow rate measurement. 

98. Shifting To Cellular Solutions Underpins Long-Term Resiliency And Stability 9/22/2021

    System longevity is a growing concern for water utilities of all sizes and locations. One of the biggest obstacles in achieving this goal is the use of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) that leverages fixed network communications. Not only do fixed networks require significant expertise to build and manage, but a shrinking workforce is also making it difficult to replace institutional knowledge when those experts retire. Additionally, emerging cybersecurity threats are making fixed networks a heavy load for utilities to bear.

99. United Utilities Trunk Main Trial 10/15/2021

    United Utilities supplies water to 3 million homes and 200,000 businesses in North West England. Within the Winscales and Scilly Banks service reservoir zones where the trial was to take place, local United Utilities NCI / NIA had previously split the main and quantified losses of 4 liters/sec and 2 liters/sec in the respective halves. Leak detection on trunk mains using correlation techniques has always had potentially limited success for reasons of poor sound propagation and scarcity of accessible fittings. The business challenge was to exceed these limitations, improve efficiency and reduce leakage.
