NETWORKleak
NETWORKleak™
NETWORKleak harnesses the power of advanced machine learning to revolutionize how sewer network operators detect, analyze, and eliminate water losses. By pinpointing inflow and infiltration (I&I) with unprecedented precision, we help you protect infrastructure, reduce costs, and safeguard the environment.
The Challenge: Hidden Water Losses
Sewer networks face a critical but often invisible problem: inflow and infiltration (I&I)—unwanted water entering the system through cracks, faulty connections, and aging infrastructure. This excess water:
Increases Costs
Treating and pumping unnecessary water wastes energy and resources
Overloads Systems
Reduces capacity during peak flows and storms, risking overflows
Harms Environment
Causes pollution through combined sewer overflows (CSOs)
Difficult to Locate
Traditional methods are expensive, time-consuming, and imprecise
The NETWORKleak Solution
NETWORKleak uses the proprietary netSENS.ai machine learning engine to transform how you manage I&I. Our AI model reconstructs the complete flow dynamics of your sewer network, separating inflow and infiltration from expected flows for each network segment, day by day.
How It Works
Data Collection
Minimal sensor deployment at strategic points
AI Analysis
netSENS.ai processes flows, rain, water table, and usage data
I&I Mapping
Segment-level identification of water intrusion sources
Prioritization
Clear action plan for maximum impact interventions
Minimal Input, Maximum Insight
Unlike traditional monitoring systems that require extensive sensor networks, NETWORKleak achieves comprehensive network analysis with remarkably simple inputs:
- Just a few measurement points strategically placed on your network
- Annual water invoicing data to understand expected flows
- Average surface water table levels from existing monitoring
- Daily rainfall data from weather stations
Our AI fills in the gaps, providing complete network visibility without the cost and complexity of dense sensor arrays.
Key Benefits for Operators
- Pinpoint I&I Sources: Know exactly where water is infiltrating, down to individual network segments
- Prioritize Interventions: Focus maintenance budgets where they'll have the greatest impact
- Track Progress: Monitor I&I reduction over time with daily analytics
- Reduce Treatment Costs: Process only the wastewater you need to treat
- Increase System Capacity: Recover capacity lost to parasitic flows
- Prevent Overflows: Reduce CSO events and environmental violations
- Plan Strategically: Make data-driven infrastructure investment decisions
- Quick Implementation: Operational insights in just three months
Exceptional Return on Investment
NETWORKleak typically pays for itself within the first year through reduced pumping and treatment costs, avoided fines, and optimized maintenance spending. The combination of quick implementation and low operational costs delivers one of the highest ROIs available in water infrastructure technology.
Technology Foundation
At the core of NETWORKleak is netSENS.ai, a sophisticated machine learning model specifically engineered for sewer network flow analysis. The AI has been trained on real-world network data and hydrological patterns, enabling it to:
Distinguish Flow Types
Separate legitimate wastewater from I&I with high accuracy
Model Dynamics
Understand temporal patterns, weather impacts, and seasonal variations
Predict Behavior
Forecast network response to storms and operational changes
Adapt Continuously
Learn from your network's unique characteristics over time
Environmental Impact
Beyond operational benefits, NETWORKleak contributes directly to environmental protection:
- Reduces energy consumption by eliminating unnecessary pumping and treatment
- Minimizes combined sewer overflow (CSO) events that pollute waterways
- Protects aquatic ecosystems by reducing untreated discharge
- Supports regulatory compliance with discharge permits
- Contributes to climate goals through reduced carbon footprint
