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.

Challenges your peers have addressed with AURA™:
- High levels of non-revenue water
- Undetected silent system leaks
- Inaccurate or missing meter data
- Lack of visibility across district zones
- Pressure anomalies going unnoticed
- Uncertainty around real-time water quality
How the City of Warren reduced resident complaints and saved thousands in water loss without capital investment.
Learn how the Great Lakes Water Authority deployed AURA across 70+ communities to unify data, automate quality monitoring, and support 3.8M residents.
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).

Receiving information faster makes it more actionable and means member partners can respond to potential issues before water quality is impacted. For us, this has reduced our reporting time from months to the same day and has enabled us to reallocate team members to new work.
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.
