Water industry challenges
According to the UN, world enters an era of ‘global water bankruptcy’ as nearly three-quarters of the world’s population live in countries classified as water-insecure or critically water-insecure.
Non-revenue water levels differ around the world with 40 % as average and 26 % in Europe.
In less than two decades, demands will rise due to growing populations, urbanization, and a larger middle class.
Through better pressure control, reduced overflow and optimized distribution
By reducing unnecessary pump running hours
