Smart Water Network Operations & Management

A digital twin for water networks that forecasts demand, creates virtual zones, detects pressure anomalies, predicts water quality, visualizes models, quantifies water loss, and pinpoints smart meter anomalies.

The Challenge

Aging infrastructure, water loss, and blind spots threaten system performance and public trust.

Utilities face increasing difficulty monitoring pressure zones, water age, quality compliance, and leaks across complex, water network systems. Manual workflows and siloed data delay issue response and frustrate residents. Limited staff and rising expectations demand smarter, faster ways to detect risk and prevent failures.

The Opportunity

Real-time network intelligence and operational recommendations leads to fewer surprises, fewer complaints, and better outcomes.

Aquasight’s AURA™ platform gives utilities real-time visibility into system performance, from pressure to water quality to leak detection. By leveraging existing meters, sensors, models and GIS data, AURA™ transforms routine monitoring into proactive, predictive action helping utilities deliver safer, more efficient service across their entire water network.

Water quality early warning

Catch issues like low chlorine residuals or aging water before they become public health or compliance concerns.

Anomaly detection

Identify silent leaks, pressure fluctuations, stuck meters, and flow irregularities faster.

Hydraulic model overlays

Use real-time simulation for expected system behavior, water age, and actual vs modeled comparisons.

Smart meter & water loss

Identify consumption anomalies, measure water loss accurately, and create dynamic DMAs or virtual DMAs (vDMAs).

Get started with AURATM

Discover how Aquasight’s AURA platform leverages your existing data infrastructure to deliver a powerful digital twin—no new hardware, no delays, and live in months, not years.

Solution Overview

AURA empowers you to monitor water quality, pressure, and system health without installing new infrastructure.

Network intelligence

AURA integrates real-time data from GIS, meters, and sensors to deliver live views of pressure, flow, tank levels, consumption, and water quality. Utilities gain full system visibility — empowering staff to act faster and with greater confidence.

AI-driven proactive alerts

Detect leaks, pressure drops, abnormal flow zones, and water quality warnings. AURA leverages your existing sensor infrastructure to create virtual districts and anomaly detection maps — helping prevent service disruptions and reduce customer dissatisfaction.

Making recommendations

Map aging water, identify stagnant mains, and guide flushing with built-in quality heat maps and advisors. AURA helps maintain compliance, avoid chlorine decay, and ensure clean, safe water delivery even in low-use areas.
