The Wolverhampton University is going on with a water leak with AI satellites

Other satellite-based technologies have improved the detection rates, but high operating costs and image-update rates between seven and 14 days still limit their effectiveness.

Using the 1.3-MIO.-GBP financing from Water Regulation's innovation fund from Water Regulation Service Ofwat, the team can create high-frequency imaging and have new data every six hours to determine leaks.

The detection of AI-powered detection then reduces the costs and enables fast use beyond the UK, the university said.

Professor Mohammad Patwary, director of the digital innovation and solution center for digital innovations and solutions from the University (CD) and the project manager, said: “This OFWAT OPPORTUNITY marks a great jump in innovation for Great Britain and improves the efficiency and infrastructure of the water industry and the longevity of the infrastructure, and creates at the same time A platform for critical sectors such as energy, transport and telecommunications and positioning in UK.

The team will use six satellites as part of the project called Space Eye and Lise with several other water companies in Great Britain.
