AI-Driven Water Leak Detection Takes Two Hours
The Jordanian Minister of Water and Irrigation revealed the use of artificial intelligence techniques and modern monitoring systems to oversee water networks, aiming for early detection of tampering and reducing water waste. The technology has shown positive results in improving water access and decreasing malicious activities in some areas of Amman, relying on monitoring devices and sensors that detect abnormal changes in water consumption to quickly identify fault locations. However, tampering with monitoring systems undermines their effectiveness and leads to additional costs. A field team remains responsible for continuous surveillance of the pipelines, despite the extensive network distances. Reaching the site of tampering can take one to two hours, giving intruders the chance to complete their operations before intervention. The ministry supports efforts to counter this by strengthening both technological and field monitoring measures to protect water sources and enhance their efficiency.
