The Crisis We're Solving
Understanding the scale of South Africa's water infrastructure challenge
37% Municipal Water Loss
South Africa loses over 1.5 billion cubic meters of water annually to leaks - enough to fill 600,000 Olympic swimming pools.
Slow Response Times
Average leak reporting to repair time exceeds 30 days, leading to cascading infrastructure damage.
Aging Infrastructure
Most municipal water networks were built 40-60 years ago and operate beyond designed capacity.
No Accountability
Lack of real-time data means leaks go unreported, unaddressed, and unmeasured.
