ABB Ability™ for Water & Wastewater

Water distribution network

The ability to continually detect and analyze network events transforms information from your water network into immediate actions to reduce water losses and optimize distribution.

Key Challenges

Real-time control of water distribution

Rapid urbanization in emerging markets is putting immense pressure on water distribution networks. Ensuring everyone has access to clean water requires increasing efficiency to reduce water leakage and prevent major disruptions.

Key challenges for water distribution networks include:

Leakage management
Pressure management
Energy management
Making fast and efficient decisions

The Power of Digital

Solving industry needs through digitalization

Real-time detection and localization of water leakages, pipe bursts, zone breaches, faulty meters, equipment faults, and other faults improve water supply quality through operational and maintenance efficiency. Centralized management tools with user-friendly, KPI-oriented dashboards and other key functions included in the latest digital solutions, give you the tools you need to manage your distribution networks effectively.
