The next stage in the evolution of water metering
Waterfall is an innovative solution that empowers water companies, consultancies and consumers to understand water
usage, embed behavioural change, and ultimately improve the resilience of our water supply. It applies the principles
of the Internet of Things (IoT), Cloud technology and machine learning to uncover and utilise powerful data on water
usage events in individual properties for the first time.
Water companies around the world have an increasing appetite for innovation. As a consultancy, dealing
with this demand is an important part of your job. For their part, water companies must continuously
provide a high quality, essential service, while also planning for shocks and stresses amidst a backdrop of
environmental, regulatory and political uncertainty. All while under pressure to meet targets on everything
from leak reduction to affordability.
The balancing act is to introduce much-needed
innovation to these regulated, cautious industries Microsoft Security

GENERATE A NEW VALUE STREAM
With Waterfall as part of an integrated water system,
you can demonstrate to your clients the ability to:
• Increase efficiency, resilience &
reliability of water supply
• Realise long-term cost savings
• Achieve significant carbon savings
