Water management and leak detection

By examining usage information from water meters, a water company can perform leak detection using a meter data management system (MDM). The MDM can gather information from the water meters and analyze it to look for any anomalies or strange consumption patterns that can point to a leak. Specifically, an MDM can assist with leak detection in the following ways:

  • Monitoring in real-time: MDM can gather data from meters in real-time, allowing water companies to find leaks as they happen and act right away.
  • Analyzing past meter data allows MDM to spot any odd consumption trends, including a rapid rise in water use or a continuous flow when the meter ought to be off.
  • Alarms and notifications: When a suspected leak is discovered, MDMS can be set up to send alerts and notifications to the water utility’s staff, allowing them to act promptly.
  • Sophisticated analytics: To more effectively detect leaks, MDMS can leverage advanced analytics technologies like machine learning.
  • Remote monitoring: Water meters may be monitored remotely thanks to MDMS, allowing utilities to find leakage in hard-to-reach places.

Water utilities can reduce the quantity of water wasted due to leaks and increase the efficiency and accuracy of their leak detection efforts by employing an MDM.
