Water Leaks

Water leaks in distribution networks are a critical issue for utilities, as they lead to water losses, increased operational costs, infrastructure degradation, and reduced service efficiency. Detecting leaks is often difficult, especially in large or complex networks where conventional inspection methods can be slow, expensive, and limited in coverage.

A solution based on Earth Observation data and artificial intelligence can support leak detection by identifying surface anomalies, moisture patterns, land subsidence indicators, or other indirect signs associated with possible water losses. By combining satellite-derived information with geospatial analysis and utility data, the system helps operators screen large areas, prioritize inspections, and focus maintenance efforts where the probability of leakage is higher. This enables a more proactive approach to network management, reducing non-revenue water and improving operational efficiency.
