Digital technology key to managing water and preventing water loss
19:57
Water losses in Poland’s water supply networks can reach up to 58%, amounting to millions of cubic meters annually. Experts urge a digital and automated revolution in water management to address this issue, which is intensified by climate change and urbanization. Most losses stem from leaks, illegal connections, and aging infrastructure. Smart sensors and real-time monitoring systems can detect leaks early and optimize infrastructure.
Agriculture, responsible for 70% of global water use, can also benefit—precision irrigation in Brazil cut usage by 25%. Quality monitoring and predictive maintenance help prevent failures. Digital solutions like IO-Link and Spectrally in Wrocław offer better control, efficiency, and sustainability, making smart water management essential for the future.
