How much, what quality, and can you prove it?

Whether you run a reticulation network losing water you can't locate, a wastewater works under Green Drop scrutiny, or a plant discharging effluent under a water-use licence, the regulator and the balance sheet ask the same three questions. addanode monitors flow, pressure, level and quality in real time, finds the water you're losing, and turns DWS compliance into a dashboard and an export — not a monthly scramble.

The reality for water operators

The pressures behind most water projects.

Water you can't account for

A large share of supply is lost to leaks, illegal connections and faulty meters — treated and pumped at full cost, earning nothing.

Compliance that can't slip

DWS licence conditions and Green Drop performance demand continuous, defensible evidence — not a sample taken once a month.

Ageing, bursting networks

High pressure on old pipes drives both background leakage and the bursts that flood a road and a budget.

Remote, unpowered sites

Reservoirs, boreholes and pump stations far from power and signal — and load shedding stopping pumps and aeration.

What we deploy

The solutions water operators start with.

Non-Revenue Water

District metering and night-flow analysis to find and recover network losses.

Why addanode for water

Built for South African networks, power and the regulator.

Engineered for the conditions you actually operate in: edge buffering and solar so monitoring survives load shedding and reaches off-grid reservoirs and boreholes; connectivity matched to the site (LoRaWAN, NB-IoT, 4G); compliance aligned to DWS and water-use licences; and because we build both the hardware and the software in-house and support it locally, we scope for the loss or the licence that matters most and start where it pays back fastest.

It all runs on the in-house addaNet platform — see the full water management solution for how it fits together.

Frequently asked

Water-sector questions we answer.

Most projects are driven by a compliance deadline or by water you're losing and can't find.

Yes. We monitor the parameters in your water-use licence, log them continuously, alert on breaches, and generate the reports DWS expects — so compliance is continuous, not a month-end exercise. See water quality & compliance.
Yes. District zone metering plus pressure and minimum-night-flow analysis pinpoints where water is being lost, so crews target the right pipe instead of searching blind — and pressure management cuts losses across whole zones. See non-revenue water.
Yes. We monitor inflow, dissolved oxygen, pump and blower health, levels and final-effluent quality, with alarms before an upset becomes a non-compliant discharge — supporting Green Drop performance. See our WWTW monitoring guide.
Low-power sensors with solar where needed, over LoRaWAN, NB-IoT or 4G, with local buffering so a dropped signal or load shedding doesn't lose data. See remote water monitoring.
No. We integrate with the meters, loggers and instruments you already have wherever possible, adding sensing only where there's a gap — the same read-what-you-own approach we take across the platform.
