In an era where water scarcity poses a mounting global challenge, artificial intelligence has emerged as a practical tool in detecting water leaks. The technology, developed by FIDO Tech and implemented through Microsoft’s water replenishment program, uses sound waves to identify leaks in water systems – a problem that wastes between 30% to 70% of piped drinking water worldwide. The system’s deployment in San Tan Valley, Arizona, demonstrates its real-world application. A medium-sized leak in a fire hydrant, losing 3-7 gallons per minute, was detected before any visible signs appeared. “That’s something that probably most likely would have leaked until … Continue reading AI Cuts 70% Water Loss: Arizona, London, & Mexico Leverage Sound Tech to Save Gallons
