Vodafone uncovered efforts to use internet of things (IoT) to detect water scarcity in order to confront water scarcity which is an increasing global issue and becoming a more prominent one due to recurring extreme weather<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Around 703 million people lack access to clean water and the UN predicts that by 2050, three out of four people worldwide could face drought impacts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using reliable technology, Vodafone can help improve the management of \u00a0<\/span>this precious resource.<\/span><\/p>\n

In industrialized countries, up to 30 percent of the water supply can be lost in the pipeline network. <\/span><\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Vodafone Business is partnering with SebaKMT in Germany, a leader in water loss detection and reduction systems, to provide IoT connectivity<\/span><\/a> to its \u2018SmartEAR\u2019 sensors.<\/span><\/p>\n

These sensors use IoT to detect leaks in water pipes by analysing noise and frequency patterns in real-time. The data is instantly sent to SebaKMT’s cloud platform, POSEYEDON, via the Vodafone IoT SIM. Vodafone\u2019s Managed IoT Connectivity platform then analyses the data, identifies \u201cleak lines\u201d and presents them clearly in the POSEYEDON backend.<\/span><\/p>\n

A complete overview of leaks in the entire water supply network is available to view on the dashboard at any time, supporting technicians in the field and allowing for quick repairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

This is a far cry from when technicians needed to visit a site to retrieve data from the sensors. Often only happening every six months, leaks went undetected for a long time.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using IoT technology in this way helps prevent economic losses and damage such as erosion.<\/span><\/p>\n

In Gauteng, the smallest province in South Africa, water loss is at an alarming rate.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the end of last year, Rand Water revealed that 2.5 billion liters of water is lost daily by its municipalities. This is due to a number of factors, from poor management and ageing infrastructure to theft and water leaks.<\/span><\/p>\n

Working with Mezzanine, Vodacom Business is launching The Digital Water Tower platform which uses demand management reports, geospatial data, and network topology maps from existing systems to optimize supply efficiency and reduce water losses.<\/span><\/p>\n

It will be rolled out in two phases. The first will focus on analysing how water is used in areas around the province by gathering existing data from water meter readings and usage reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second phase will see the platform determine when interventions are needed by performing impact assessments, which will also assist in monitoring the efficiency of consumer and supplier services.<\/span><\/p>\n

This forms part of an initiative by Vodacom and Strategic Water Partners Network (SWPN) to address water security challenges in Gauteng.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vodafone said it understands the positive impact its technology can have on the planet.<\/span><\/p>\n

By using data insight platforms, Vodafone can monitor usage so that wasteful energy and resource consumption is identified and acted upon. This is just another way we\u2019re keeping everyone connected from seabed to stars.<\/span><\/p>\n
