Description du projet
Des technologies de pointe pour surveiller les fuites d’eau
Gérer l’eau implique de répondre aux défis liés à différents types de pertes. Pour faire face aux problèmes de fuites, de fissures ou d’obstructions dans les services d’approvisionnement en eau, une technologie de pointe apporte une aide décisive. Le système Watersign System de Tavlit a mis au point et breveté une technologie qui permet de contrôler l’adduction d’eau et les structures d’irrigation et de détecter les pertes en temps réel. La technologie est facilement applicable, peu coûteuse et permet d’identifier tout type de risque de perte d’eau grâce à un capteur installé à l’entrée du système et à un marqueur placé à chaque sortie. Cette solution innovante utilise l’eau elle-même comme transmetteur d’informations. Le projet WATERSIGN, financé par l’UE, préparera la technologie pour le marché en menant des cas pilotes dans des zones agricoles et paysagères.
Objectif
To enable a more efficient use of water and limit wasteful usage, real time monitoring and alerts in case of burst, blockage or leakage
is needed to empower consumers to take corrective action as quickly as possible. Tavlit's Watersign System’s disruptive patented
technology reduces water wastage and maximizes the efficient use of water, thereby preserving scarce resources, by enabling real
time monitoring of water supply lines and irrigation systems. The system is simple and economical, making it an ideal solution for
water management. Using the water itself as the medium to transfer the data, the system detects leakages, bursts, blockages, water
theft and unauthorized connections, identifying the specific point/location of the disturbance, and alerts the user immediately so
that corrective action can be taken. The system analyses water consumption patterns and sends alerts in the case of irregular
behaviour, as well as immediately sending an alert when non-potable water enters a potable water system.
The system is comprised of just one sensor located at the inlet of the water system being monitored, while each individual water
outlet is equipped with a Watersign-marker, a mechanical device operated by the water flow, creating small flow/pressure
fluctuations in the water, generating a unique signature at every outlet, identifying each user by small fluctuations in the water flow/
pressure. The water itself is used as the medium to transmit information from all markers simultaneously to the sensor located at the
inlet of the system. A smart algorithm separates between signals and identifies each user, sending an immediate alert in case of
irregular behaviour.
The project’s objective is to bring the Watersign System to full commercialisation using Tavlit’s global market presence and
reputation. Throughout the project, pilot sites will be operational, including agricultural, landscape & turf and golf course sites, as
well as rural village and water utility pilots.
