Water Waste & Leakage
Description
With the recent increase in extreme weather events, water is becoming scarcer and its usage is becoming a front-page news topic. A great amount of water is being lost through leaks in the piping infrastructure. Water leakage and meter reading represent two of the biggest operational costs for water utilities.
By implementing a smart water infrastructure, comprised of sensors, gateways, automated meter readers embedded with LoRa Technology, and an intelligent low-power wide area network based on the LoRaWAN™ protocol, utility companies can dramatically reduce their operational costs.
Benefits
- Reduce utility operational expenses with precise detection of water leaks through sensors and automated meter readers embedded with LoRa Technology
- Dramatically reduce service costs as low-power operation ensures sensor batteries can last up to 20 years
- Utilities have a wide range of sensing solutions to monitor water flow, including:
– Leak detectors
– Smart water meters
– Fire hydrant monitors
– Automatic water valve shut off systems
