Water distribution networks that use artificial intelligence to save water and energy.
The goal of HpO® is to make public water distribution networks more efficient, resilient, and able to last for decades to come. HpO® uses engineering services and artificial intelligence to predict failures, stop leaks, and save water and energy on water distribution networks. It tells you two important things: which streets to check first for leaks so you can fix them faster and which network parts to replace first for the best technical and financial performance to cut down on leaks in the future. HpO® also takes into account the fact that water networks all over the world are getting old. They are buried, so the danger can’t be seen. The costs of replacing the water network are too high to be able to do in a short amount of time. Starting today, this investment needs to be spread out over decades. Year after year, HpO® helps predict risks and put replacements where they will be most effective.
Positive facts about AI for high-efficiency water networks
Can avoid up to 10 times more failures and leaks than current practices
Can help water utilities reduce water losses by 50% within a few years of targeted leak detection and network replacement
Can help water utilities reduce CO2 emissions from water production by half within a few years
Payback time of under 4 years
Can help water utilities enhance the efficiency of their investments for network replacement, which can amount to millions of euros per year
Helps to optimise the use of the water already available in their pipes and avoid massive investments to mobilise new water resources (dams, feeder pipelines)
