The pressures of supplying a growing global The World Bank has estimated that over 32 billion population mean that the world’s water supplies cubic meters of water are lost through leakage, with need to be managed more closely than ever. network losses as high as up to 50 percent in some Estimates from the United Nations point to a 50 countries. Reducing losses is not just about saving percent increase in water withdrawals in developing water. There is also scope for massive savings in countries by 2025 and by 18 percent in developed energy use as well, as every drop of water lost is a countries. With a finite amount of water available for drop that has to be replaced, treated and pumped consumption, meeting this demand requires a through the network. Any move to improve water combination of finding and treating new sources of supply management should therefore begin with water, including seawater and stemming leakage tracing both existing and potential leaks. losses in water distribution networks.

Frequently Asked Questions
What data does the AquaMaster collect regarding network leakage?
It uses three integral data loggers to collect flow, pressure, and daily flow totalization data, with sampling rates as fine as one minute.
How can users access or monitor data from a remote location?
The system employs GSM-SMS radio technology, allowing users to gain immediate access to flow and pressure variations via SMS message or secure download.
What maintenance services are offered for the AquaMaster units?
ABB service engineers provide calibration and verification services, which predict potential future faults and ensure accurate operational status checks.
