Whether it be leakage, droughts, or floods, water and the management and conservation of such a valuable resource has become an even more critical topic. The importance of improving the infrastructure nationwide and Monitoring its performance, to mitigate water loss, is widely understood. It has been estimated that 2.1 trillion gallons of treated water are lost every year due to leakage within the urban water transportation infrastructure. The aability to monitor and optimize the transportation and use of water has never been more valuable, especially when it comes to the agricultural industry.

With the internet of things (IoT) and the advanced technologies that are becoming more prevalent in Water Management, this data is more readily available thanever before.

Having access to monitoring data and utilizing the tools than can accompany the IoT allows organizations to transform their data into actionable information that can save significant time and money. Having access to flow and other monitoring data and near real-time alerts allows organizations to be notified the moment an issue occurs. Having that transparency allows organizations to be as proactive as possible to minimize the damage.

“The Internet of Things is enabling smarter use of water at home, in the fields, and across American cities. By tackling old problems in creative ways – using technologies that are simple and increasingly inexpensive – these firms and their government partners are reducing waste and keeping waterways clean.”
