Leveraging on AI to Transform and Improve Water Management Systems

The National Water Services Commission (SPAN) acts as a watchdog in ensuring all the different water provider companies meet the need requirements when it comes to quality of water and maintenance. At the same time, SPAN is also looking at ways in which they can ensure the supply of water is consistent and able to monitor pipelines for faults and repair them with minimal impact to the supply. In a move to conserve water in Malaysia, they are also pushing for rainwater harvesting to meet the growing demand for water, especially during drought seasons. In order to achieve this, SPAN believes water companies need to digitally transform their infrastructure, so they are able to meet the demands of the industry. A lot of these companies have ageing infrastructure and rising urbanisation to deal with.
