Minimise water network risks in highly dense populated areas with AQUADVANCED®

Facing an increasing scarcity of water resources in the region and with a very high water consumption linked to its tourist activities (hotels, casinos, etc.), Macao Water has chosen the AQUADVANCED® Water Networks software solution to manage the performance of its drinking water network in an innovative way and help preserving water resources.

SUEZ has implemented its AQUADVANCED® Water Networks software to monitor the entire drinking water distribution network. A dashboard displays the state of the network in real time.

Intelligent event detection means that action can be taken more quickly, and the reports are a valuable decision-making tool for better management of network performance.

Thanks to the AQUADVANCED® Water Network solution, Macao Water was not only able to ensure a 24/7 water supply with continuous support, but also:

• 158 events detected in the first two years, 92% of which revealed anomalies
• Unbilled water reduced from 18% to less than 10
• The ROI is between 2 and 3 years.
• Precise analysis of changes in pressure and flow rate means that action can be taken quickly, as was the case when a leak was detected in the private pipes at the University of Macau, preventing the loss of 5,000 m³ - the equivalent of three days' water consumption by the institution.
• The data help to optimise facility capacities and prioritise actions to be taken. The return on investment is between 2 and 3 years.
