We are probably all guilty of using too much water.
However, most water wastage happens prior to the precious resource entering our homes.
That is because national pipe networks are riddled with leaks and water scarcity is a growing global problem.
CouldAIbe part of the solution?
For instance, the UK wastes more than three billion litres of perfectly good quality drinking water every day.
Meanwhile, Italy and its ageing water infrastructure loses 42% of drinking water yearly.
Globally, daily water loss is estimated to be 45 billion litres.
Thats one part, Robbert Lodewijks, HULO.ais co-founder and CEO, tells TNW.

Improving leak detection accuracy
Essentially, the technology minimises the need for extensive physical infrastructure checks.
HULO.ais technology narrows down the highest potential area of a leak without the need for a DMA.
Additionally, HULO.ai says it can tailor its solutions to the specific client and their needs.
Between two and three billion people worldwide already experience water shortages.
This situation is set to worsen significantly over the coming decades especially in cities.
And that also determines how quickly you might react to a leak.
If theres data every 15 minutes then, naturally, the time period is longer.
That is, unless we effectively deploy water saving technology and large-scale international cooperation.
With greater water scarcity looming on the horizon for future generations, every drop literally counts.
And then, the adventure is already a big success.
