Varuna offers a Water Distribution Monitoring System
Water treatment plants monitor water quality, but monitoring quality in the distribution system is a challenge. Presently, technicians collect water samples from critical points in the water distribution system and test them. This method is time-consuming and inefficient. This is why startups are developing sensor-integrated water distribution monitoring systems.
US-based startup Varuna offers a water distribution monitoring system. The startup deploys a network of sensors and cloud-based software to provide real-time monitoring and insights. The solution enables visibility of the distribution system. It offers insights on monitoring water pressure, operation of pumps, and water condition in the distribution system. The system allows water utilities to track the system behavior and predict operational issues, thereby optimizing workflows.
iPIPE advances Underground Water Distribution System Inspection
Underground water pipe networks need regular inspections for blockages, corrosions, faulty welds, and unauthorized connections. However, manual inspection is challenging, leading to an inefficient response to water loss. Therefore, startups are developing hardware solutions that navigate pressurized water streams and detect defects.
Israeli startup iPIPE offers an inspection solution for underground water pipe distribution systems. The startup’s mini wireless device maneuvers inside active pressurized water distribution networks. It inspects pipelines and provides precise information regarding pipe and network conditions, system integrity, and location of leaks, faulty welds, corrosion, blockages, unauthorized connections, and unmapped network segments. This enables water utilities to carry out effective inspections of their water distribution networks.
Capta Hydro offers Irrigation Gate Automation
Presently, gate operators control the irrigation channels. However, this setup is inefficient as gate operators have limited capacity in detecting problems in the water delivery system and responding to natural events. Remote actuation provides immediate reaction capability to natural events and automated flow management. Therefore, startups are developing gate automation solutions for irrigation water distribution systems.
Chilean startup Capta Hydro offers a gate automation solution for irrigation canal networks. The startup’s distribution solution constantly monitors the gates and water levels providing a system of configurable alerts. The system enables remote and real-time operation of the gate level for a complete view of the status of flow delivery in the channel. Moreover, the solution is adaptable to the existing channel network optimizing distribution.
IoT Solutionz offers Water Distribution Pump Automation
Presently, pump operations at water plants are manual. The manual process is inefficient as determining the optimum water distribution requires analysis of data from pipes spread across large areas. By integrating sensors and other smart technologies, water tech companies optimize resources. Therefore startups are developing smart water solutions using telemetry technology to implement water distribution pump automation.
Indian startup IoT Solutionz offers a water distribution management system. The startup’s smart water solution optimizes water management by integrating smart energy meters, advanced telemetry sensors, and automated pumps. The solution uses an inbuilt processor to calculate distinct water requirements and automatically operates the pumps. The system is scalable to various pumps, monoblock or submersible, and allows for both synchronous and asynchronous operations.
Explore-AI offers a Digital Water Management Platform
The water distribution infrastructure of many cities is aging. This increases the downtime and frequently results in flooding and pipe bursts disrupting the water distribution mains. Introducing artificial intelligence facilitates digitization of the system leading to the efficient preservation of the existing infrastructure. Therefore, startups are developing digital water systems management solutions.
African startup Explore-AI provides a digital water systems platform. The startup’s solution uses digital twins and artificial intelligence models to enable predictive maintenance of the water infrastructure. It assesses the risk conditions of drinking water distribution mains systems and wastewater systems. Besides, the platform facilitates operators to calculate minimum likelihood estimation (MLE) of the water balance throughout the water network on a recurring basis.
