Future of Water Utilities: Smart Distribution & Leakage Analytics

As urban populations grow and climate change stresses water resources, smart water utilities and advanced leakage management are essential for sustainable urban water supply. This domain equips learners to design, monitor, and optimize water distribution networks using IoT sensors, digital twins, AI/ML analytics, and predictive maintenance techniques. Participants gain hands-on skills in real-time network monitoring, pressure management, non-revenue water reduction, and data-driven policy for water utilities.
