Liquid Intelligent Technologies and DropByDrop partner to drive smart water management across Kenya
'Water scarcity is a growing challenge across the continent, and managing this precious resource efficiently is more important than ever. Through our partnership with DropByDrop, we're bringing Liquid's advanced technology and data-driven solutions to Kenya's water sector. By helping providers digitise their infrastructure and build smart water ecosystems, we're empowering them to serve their communities better,' said Neeraj Pradhan, Acting Chief Executive Officer, Liquid Kenya.
Addressing non-revenue water challenges is a key focus of this partnership, with reports (http://apo-opa.co/4lzAoaX) indicating that approximately 47% of the water released for distribution in Kenya remains unaccounted for. By reducing these losses through improved leak detection, accurate metering, and real-time monitoring, water utilities can boost revenue collection and unlock greater funding opportunities for water infrastructure development.
Furthermore, smart water solutions play a crucial role in advancing broader societal and environmental objectives. The data generated supports environmental, social, and governance (ESG) reporting, demonstrates progress towards the UN's Sustainable Development Goals, and enables informed planning for urban development and infrastructure expansion.
Liquid's existing Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructure integrates with DropByDrop's platform to provide reliable, efficient water delivery based on real-time data. SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) integration enables remote monitoring and control, while geo-asset management ensures that infrastructure is well-maintained. Additionally, remote valve control allows for quick shut-offs or adjustments. The platform's multilingual design and compatibility with various networks mean more people benefit from accurate billing, usage monitoring, and leak detection alerts.
'Water is at the heart of life, yet millions still struggle to access it reliably. At DropByDrop, our mission is to harness the power of data and technology to make every drop count. Leveraging Liquid's extensive infrastructure enables us to scale our advanced water management platform in Kenya. Together, we're creating a future where water is managed sustainably, equitably, and intelligently,' said Sergey Khorolsky, International Projects Partner of DropByDrop.
Liquid's collaboration with DropByDrop underscores the critical role technology plays in addressing everyday challenges. Bringing innovative digital solutions to water management not only enhances service stability but also ensures that users have reliable, data-powered access to this essential resource, while reducing non-revenue water wastage. It also reflects Liquid's commitment to delivering end-to-end technology solutions that support Africa's digital transformation journey.
