With support from the Ontario Water Consortium’s  Water Industry Growth Program, Digital Water Solutions is reshaping water distribution network management with their groundbreaking hydrant.AI technology. 

Today, many communities lose up to half of the drinking water they treat due to leaks in their distribution networks. To help tackle the problem, Digital Water Solutions (DWS) developed ground-breaking technology with support from OWC. Their hydrant.AI devices sit inside fire hydrants, gathering acoustic, pressure and temperature data from within the water column. Then, AI software gets to work, using that data to identify and localize low-level leaks — and even predict catastrophic bursts before they occur.

Smart leak detection that makes every drop count – Ontario Water Consortium

This webinar will be of interest to anybody in your municipality who deals with the problems of leak detection and non-revenue water in PVC and/or mixed-material water distribution networks, as well as those who are looking to gain a better understanding of the strengths and limitations of current leak detection technologies.

Finding a means to reliably and efficiently detect leaks in PVC and mixed-material networks is a growing challenge for many utilities. With so many different technologies and approaches available, it becomes difficult for both decision makers and operators to understand what works and what doesn’t.

Join us as we first discuss the state-of-the art in leak detection to break down the key strengths and limitations of each method. Afterwards, we will look at case studies from several water utilities and municipalities and how they have constructed successful programs for leak detection in PVC and mixed-material networks.

Reducing potable water waste is one of the biggest challenges water utilities and municipalities face. Every day, they lose huge amounts of water through leaks in their aging pipe networks – resulting in lost revenue, wasted water resources and higher operational costs.
