Smart valve technology to digitise water networks
iVapps is using innovative technology to improve monitoring and control of water in distribution grids.
Water utilities are facing risks from increasing demand, as well as water scarcity, quality and security. This is exacerbated by issues such as aging infrastructure and climate change.
Despite this, water losses within distribution networks are high. A report from the European Commission found that, in around half of member states, more than 20 per cent of clean drinking water is lost in the distribution network before it reaches consumers’ taps, while for some member states the proportion is as high as 60 per cent. The UK is estimated to lose billions of litres of water every day from leakage. A report from the Consumer Council for Water in 2017 found that the UK lost 3.1 billion litres of water from leakage every day that year.
