WATER LOSS AND LEAK DETECTION RESOURCES

• Apavital S.A. Digitalizes Water Consumption With Itron's Smart Metering Devices

  Modernize water network management by combining precision ultrasonic metering with advanced acoustic leak detection. This integrated digital approach provides real-time data to identify vulnerabilities, minimize non-revenue water, and optimize distribution for long-term operational sustainability.

• A Dynamic Trio Helps Tackle The Challenge Of Non-Revenue Water

  Non-revenue water is a global problem: Around 30% of drinking water is lost on its way to the consumer. But this decades-old problem can now be solved: By applying proven, easy-to-use digital solutions, utilities can now make the best use of data they already have from sensors and from hydraulic models to learn more about how much water they are losing and why.

• Study Reveals A Comprehensive Guide To IoT Integration For Non-Revenue Water Management

  A recent study argues that the traditional, manual approach to drinking-water distribution-network monitoring and leak prevention is no longer sustainable. Instead, utilities must embrace the Internet of Things (IoT) to transition from reactive repairs to proactive asset management.
• Tackling The Trillion-Gallon Problem: Water Loss Reduction Initiatives Benefit Utilities And Consumers Alike

  In the U.S. alone, 2.7 trillion gallons of water are lost to non-revenue water (NRW) every year, costing water utilities more than $6.4 billion annually in unrealized revenue. Given the scale of the issue — volumes and dollars — NRW presents an opportunity for upscaling utility management.
• Three Acoustic Technologies For Leak Detection And Pipe Assessment

  Water companies face a constant battle against leaks, aging infrastructure, and the need for efficient asset management. Acoustic technology has been successfully used in leak detection, pipe assessment, and continuous leak monitoring for decades. These technologies leverage advanced signal processing and machine learning, offering a proactive approach to managing water distribution networks. Let's examine three technologies that are achieving great results around the world.

• Empowering Water Utilities Through Meter Data

  Modernizing water infrastructure requires robust digital systems to manage high-volume metering data. Centralizing this information enables precise leak detection, accurate water balancing, and proactive customer engagement, ultimately driving operational efficiency and long-term sustainability goals.

• How Artificial Intelligence (AI) Is Transforming Water Loss Management For Utilities

  AI is reshaping water loss management by turning complex utility data into clearer priorities, faster insights, and more proactive decision-making—without replacing the people responsible for running the system.

• How Satellite-Based Leak Detection Saves Utility Budgets Millions

  Across the globe, water systems face an invisible crisis that drains billions of dollars every year. In the U.S. alone, aging infrastructure causes water losses costing utilities an estimated $6.4 billion annually. But a breakthrough in satellite-based leak detection is changing the game, delivering unprecedented savings and operational efficiency. 

• Smarter Control For Seasonal Demand: How Aquana Smart Valves Help Utilities Manage Frequent Water Shutoffs

  Managing water service in high-turnover communities requires balancing operational costs with infrastructure protection. Remote control technology enables utilities to mitigate the risks of frequent shutoffs, reduce labor-intensive field visits, and detect leaks in vacant properties.

• Rural North Texas Community Cuts Non-Revenue Water By 42% With Pipeline Leak Detection Technology

  Discover how a city solved its non-revenue water challenge by rapidly pinpointing three hard-to-find leaks in 13 miles of aging pipeline using a free-swimming acoustic tool.
