Eradicating the Phantom Leak: How Emita's Spectral Analysis Makes Non-Revenue Water Visible

Water utilities around the world are facing a silent crisis: non-revenue water (NRW). This "phantom water" disappears before reaching customer meters, leading to financial losses, operational headaches, and environmental strain. While the problem is well-known, pinpointing its exact sources across vast pipe networks has been a frustratingly elusive challenge.

At eMita , we're tackling NRW head-on with a revolutionary blend of technology and ingenuity. Our secret weapon? Spectral analysis powered by satellite imagery.

But let's back up. Traditional NRW detection methods rely on physical inspections, leak detectors, and meter readings – all time-consuming, labor-intensive, and often inaccurate. They're akin to playing whack-a-mole with an invisible opponent.

That's where eMita 's spectral analysis comes in. We harness the power of Sentinel-1, a constellation of satellites equipped with radar sensors. Unlike optical imagery, radar can pierce through clouds and vegetation, providing a clear view of the Earth's surface 24/7.

Here's the magic:

1. Automated Satellite Data Acquisition: eMita 's platform automatically downloads Sentinel-1 data over your specific water network area, eliminating manual data gathering.
2. Advanced Spectral Analysis: Our proprietary algorithms then analyze the unique spectral signatures within the data. These signatures, like fingerprints, reveal subtle changes in soil moisture caused by hidden leaks.
3. Quantified NRW Insights: The analysis translates these changes into precise estimates of NRW volume and location, giving you a clear picture of the problem and its extent.

But it doesn't stop there. Emita takes it a step further by:

• Pinpointing Leak Locations: Our system generates geospatial maps highlighting areas with high NRW probability, guiding your repair crews to the exact source of the problem.
• Weekly Monitoring: Unlike traditional, sporadic methods, eMita provides consistent, weekly insights into NRW behavior, allowing for proactive interventions and real-time monitoring of progress.
• Data-Driven Decision Making: Our platform seamlessly integrates with your existing data systems, empowering you to make informed decisions about infrastructure investments, maintenance schedules, and water resource management.

The results speak for themselves. eMita 's spectral analysis has helped water utilities:

• Reduce NRW by up to 30% in a single year, translating to significant financial savings and improved resource efficiency.
• Streamline leak detection and repair processes, cutting response times and minimizing water losses.
• Gain actionable insights into their network health, enabling data-driven decision making for long-term sustainability.

By unlocking the secrets hidden within satellite data, eMita is bringing the fight against NRW into the 21st century. We're making non-revenue water visible, quantifiable, and ultimately, eradicable. Join us in building a future where every drop counts.
