Popis: Water leakages in urban water supply networks are a major cause of non-revenue water (NRW) and pose significant challenges for water management. To address this issue, the Municipal Enterprise for Water and Wastewater of Aigialeia (DEYA Aigialeias), the Institutionalized Research Laboratory of Smart Technologies, Renewable Energy Sources and Quality of UNIWA (STRESQ), and the Laboratory of Climatology and Atmospheric Environment (LACAE, NKUA) are collaborating on a project titled “Smart system for Leak Detection for water supply Network of Aigio”. By installing sensors and implementing a SCADA system with PLC controllers, critical parameters such as water supply, pressure, and quality will be monitored. This project aims to reduce water leakage, which currently accounts for approximately 48% of the town’s total water supply, ultimately saving around 600,000 m3 of water annually.
