Servicios de Agua Drenaje de Monterrey: Reducing non-revenue water and controlling pressure

Monterrey uses Xylem Vue powered by GoAigua to reduce leaks and average user consumption.

Project Objective

Regulate and monitor pressures, supervise flow rates, consumption, and non-revenue water (NRW) in different sectors, and bring together system information from various sources including the SADM’s SCADA. 

Project Details

Unified Network Management integrated data from macro-sectors and circuits into the SmartSCADA and displayed key operating variables on customized dashboards. Leak Detection began monitoring 300 macro-sectors and 2,500 circuits and optimizing pressure. A Real-Time What-If Scenarios pilot was also launched to provide scenario simulations, network operator training and system operation optimization.

Outcomes

SADM can now monitor, analyze and make decisions about its water network operations, establish/assign daytime and nighttime setpoints for Pressure Reducing Valves, and control user consumption by identifying night-time consumption anomalies that point to visible and hidden leaks. As a result, average consumption in certain macro-sectors has been reduced by 34%-37%.
