Non-revenue water management is a critical challenge in agricultural environments and irrigator communities, where water distribution takes place through extensive, heterogeneous networks that often lack digitalization.

The lack of visibility into actual water use makes it difficult to detect losses, inefficient use, or imbalances between the water distributed and the water consumed by crops.

This challenge fits within a broader digitalization strategy to improve profitability, justify investments, and provide greater control — especially in the field of potable water, where management is more complex and often dependent on indirect measures based on sanitation.

We are looking for solutions based on remote sensing that can measure parameters in client plantations to estimate water consumption and detect discrepancies against recorded usage.

Solutions with soil analysis capabilities using historical imagery, real-time visualization to identify sources of unaccounted or under-accounted water, and tools that allow the service to evolve toward higher-value and monetizable models for clients will be valued.
