Failing water pipes are an economic and environmental disaster The availability of clean and affordable water for everyone on the planet is becoming a major challenge. It is reported that by 2050 at least one in four people will be affected by water stress and severe water shortages. According to the International Water Association, water loss from pipe bursts, leaks and water theft accounts for 25% to 50% per cent of the total supply and in emerging markets it goes up to 75%. Fixing the problem could pr
However what can be done? Given water assets are often underground, it is difficult for water utilities (the operators of water distribution infrastructure) to know the condition of their assets, particularly where leaks exist, and the size of these leaks until the water becomes visible on the surface. Often, before the leaking water becomes visible, the leak turns into large pipe rupture causing further water loss and damage to property and the environment. How can utilities determine the condition of the
At Leakster it is our mission to address this problem, by assisting water utilities to understand the condition of their assets before it becomes a problem. We have developed and are trialing a ground-breaking technology that uses IoT sensing and machine learning to detect and point-point the location of pipeline leaks, integrating leakage data with a utilities GIS. The acoustic sensor data, GPS and GIS integration, combined with signal processing and the use of Artificial Intelligence enables us to prov
