Foreword
W
elcome to the WWT Smart Water
Networks and Leakage supplement
2018: our guide to the latest innova-
tions, products and services that are
helping to create the smart water
network of the future and to reduce the amount of
precious water being lost to leaks.
The hot, dry summer that most in the UK experi-
enced this year meant that leakage became a particu-
larly hot topic: and with climate change making drought
and water scarcity an increasing likelihood in future,
regulators Ofwat are ensuring that greater ambition on
leakage is at the heart of water companies' business
plans for the 2020-25 AMP period.
Today's technology provides a multitude of solutions
for finding leaks and restoring service. And what's
more, by offering the operator more knowledge about
what is going on in the network, and interpreting and
mining that data using artificial intelligence, smart
technology can also unlock a proactive and preventative
leakage strategy – so efforts are focused where they will
have the most effect on tackling leakage and the
network is run in a way that minimises the risk of future
bursts and damage.
We hope this guide provides buyers with plenty of
inspiration for making decisions that will help shape
the future of the water network, and ensure a greater
proportion of valuable water ends up reaching our taps.
