AI-driven tool for smart water management and figuring out where pipelines are at risk.
Many drinking water and wastewater systems in cities around the world were built between the 1940s and 1970s. This means that a lot of these assets are close to or have already reached the end of their useful lives. Water systems are falling apart and need to be replaced or fixed. This is especially true now, when climate change is causing big changes in temperature and drought, which puts even more stress on these systems. CANN forecast made InteliPipes, a tool that helps find weak pipes in a city’s water distribution system so that decisions can be made ahead of time about repairing water main pipes. These tools were made with the help of artificial intelligence models that use available data to give decision makers useful information about which water main pipes should be replaced to stop water from leaking.
