SaaS solutions reduce water loss

With almost 40% of municipal water supplied in South Africa being lost before it even reaches the public, information and communications technology solutions provider Jasco Group states that there are tools and technologies available, such as big data, analytics and Software as a Service (SaaS), that can assist in monitoring and managing the use of water and potentially pinpointing where it is being lost or siphoned off. Jasco’s cloud-based SaaS solutions use proprietary algorithms and big data analytics to measure water use and flow. Sensors are planted in pipelines to track hydraulic flow as well as the rate of dam drainage. The software, which is programmed with up-to-date geographical information, measures trends based on location and typical use.
