SAPAL water network monitoring pilot
- Client: Sistema de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de León (SAPAL)
- Project location: Leon, Mexico
- Solutions applied: GoAigua Water Twin, FlowSens and Meter Insights.
Idrica developed the SAPAL iA project, a pilot to implement the initial stages of artificial intelligence in the Sistema de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de León (SAPAL) in Leon, Mexico. The deployment of the GoAigua platform served to bolster the utility’s data integration system and extract value from information.

The implementation phase of the project included the deployment of several GoAigua solutions (Water Twin, FlowSens and Meter Insights) and the installation of additional sensors. In the subsequent monitoring phase, energy, hydraulic performance and service continuity were found to have improved as a result of the technology implemented. In addition, the number of outages dropped.
In this pilot, the client was given access to all the functions and developments that the GoAigua platform offers, in line with the project’s objectives to improve operational efficiency. In addition, algorithms were custom developed and made available to SAPAL for the optimization of its pumping and pressure management programs. This added significant value and yielded excellent results, including a 54% reduction in water losses and a 39% decrease in energy costs.
SAPAL (Sistema de Agua Potable y Alcantarillado de León) is one of the most technologically advanced water utilities in Mexico and is a benchmark in the domestic market. Prior to the project, the city had already invested in a number of water management technologies and systems, so this process has been key to further improving services.
