Water and Wastewater Automation Solutions
Not Just a Matter of Leaky Pipes
Across the globe, cities consume 50% of the world’s energy and 70% of the world’s water. The world’s oldest water and wastewater treatment facilities –185,000 of which are nearing retirement age – are plagued with significant deficiencies:
- Over 40% of drinking water is lost in distribution before reaching anyone
- Inefficiencies in the grid waste enough electric to power Canada, Germany and India
- 2.3 billion gallons of fuel are wasted in the US each year due to traffic congestion
- 100B kWh of energy is used by data centers in the US and climbing
- Poorly managed supply chains cost $40 billion in lost productivity
