S6E14 - One Olympic Swimming Pool every 10 Minutes. Really?

Too much of our best water disappears underground.

Every year, the World loses about one hundred twenty-six billion cubic meters of perfect drinking water in network leakages. 

That's one Olympic swimming pool that disappears every ten minutes, all year long!

Sure, that's a waste of water. But it's also an energy disaster, as we treat, refine, polish and pump that water only for it to vanish somewhere underground. 

And maybe worse, when water leaks out of the pipe, what kind of pollutants can leak in?

The good news is that we have a full toolbox to tackle this problem. First, we can balance the pressure on the network to reduce the stress on pipes, increase their lifetime, and slow leaks down.

Then, we can track those leaks and fix them while doing so is still affordable.

And finally, we can revolutionize the way we manage networks by leveraging data, fixing things just in time, and entering the realm of preventive maintenance. 

Trust me; it's about time because too much of our best water disappears underground.
