Out Team In Action
Aqua Analytics partnered with a council to update its outdated Water Loss Management Plan (WLMP) and address inefficiencies in its water network.
The project included a review of water data, real-time water balance assessments, prioritised action plans, and detailed feasibility reports for implementing enhanced metering and monitoring.
Deliverables included updated water balance calculations, a tactical plan for reducing non-revenue water (NRW), and recommendations for real-time IoT monitoring and smart water solutions.
The outcomes provided the council with a strategic roadmap for proactive water loss management, optimised resource allocation, and improved network efficiency.
By focusing on actionable steps and data-driven solutions, Aqua Analytics enabled the council to reduce water loss, enhance sustainability, and prepare for future smart water technology investments.
What is Non-Revenue Water Consulting
NRW consulting aims to minimise water loss and improve the efficiency of water distribution systems. Our key focus areas include DMA Design and Establishment, Pressure Management, and Predictive Asset Management. We adopt an innovative approach to NRW consulting by utilising our expertise and proven use of cutting-edge technologies, software, and analytics to deliver comprehensive solutions. This approach drives significant improvements in water management, boosts system reliability, and supports long-term sustainability objectives.
The Benefits of Non-Revenue Water Consulting
Enhanced Financial and Operational Efficiency
Our NRW consulting services are designed to enhance both the financial and operational efficiency of water utilities. By identifying and addressing the sources of non-revenue water, we help utilities reduce water loss and improve revenue collection. This leads to more efficient operations and better financial performance, allowing utilities to invest in further improvements and innovations.
Reduction of Physical Losses (Leaks)
One of the primary focuses of our NRW consulting services is reducing physical losses. Through advanced leak detection techniques and targeted repair strategies, we help utilities identify and fix leaks in their distribution systems. This not only conserves valuable water resources but also reduces the costs associated with water loss and infrastructure damage.
Reduction of Apparent Losses (Billing Inaccuracies)
Apparent losses, such as billing inaccuracies and unauthorised consumption, can significantly impact a utility’s revenue. Our consulting services include strategies to address these issues by improving metering accuracy, detecting unauthorised connections and theft, and enhancing billing processes. By reducing apparent losses, utilities can ensure fair and accurate billing, improving customer satisfaction and revenue collection.
Improved Resource Management
Effective NRW management leads to better resource allocation and management. By reducing water loss and improving revenue collection, utilities can optimise their resources and ensure a more sustainable operation. Our consulting services provide the insights and strategies needed to achieve these goals, supporting long-term sustainability and resilience.
How Can Smart Technology Help Your Water Network?
Smart water networks improve the operational efficiency, longevity and reliability of the physical water network. For example, better measurement, collection and analysis of data allows more rapid action across a range of network events, leading to lower costs and improved levels of customer service. Similarly, real-time network monitoring can provide enhanced situational awareness of leakage, leading to more targeted leakage reduction efforts using fewer resources or understanding high-risk assets due to pressure transients in rising sewer mains.
How Can We Help with Smart Water Technology Projects?
At Aqua Analytics, we provide independent, smart water consulting advice to help water utilities navigate the water technology space. We have intimate knowledge of what solutions are best suited to achieve your organisational objectives and solve your most significant water and wastewater network challenges including avoiding water main bursts, reducing wastewater pipe blockages and reducing levels of non-revenue water.
We are always guided by how implementing smart technologies will improve your business’s operational performance. As we develop an intelligent water strategy, we keep the customer’s goals front and centre.
How is IoT Technology Changing Water Network Management?
The emergence of the Internet of Things (IoT) allows water utilities to monitor their assets in near-real time leading to better customer outcomes, improved operational efficiency and enhanced asset performance. Simultaneously, the cost of smart device hardware, communication and big data analytics has reduced considerably over the last decade, making IoT projects affordable for water utilities of all sizes. Our innovative water consulting services help you navigate this ever-changing environment and enable you to understand the value of solutions such as Data-as-a-Service (DaaS).
The Aqua Analytics team has experience working with a range of water IoT devices, applications and communication protocols and understands how these combine to help water utilities improve their business and solve critical problems. For example, the ability to detect a leak before it becomes a significant burst enables preventative maintenance at a much lower repair cost and, most importantly, leads to improved customer satisfaction.
Who Do We Help with Digital Water Strategies?
We help all water industry stakeholders with their digital water strategies. Inventors, technology companies, start-ups, consultants and water utilities often seek us for advice on smart water technology and the direction of their smart water strategies or business models. Some examples of smart water consulting and water loss management consulting projects we have undertaken are:
- Provided advice to water technology start-ups on their product development plans
- Crafted commercialisation strategies for inventors who have existing intellectual property
- Partnered with consultants on large-scale smart water projects as a subject matter expert (SME)
