DEWA wins the Smart Water Project of the Year Award 2024 at the Global Water Awards

In a new global achievement that adds to its record of success, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (dewa) has won the Smart Water Project of the Year Award 2024 at the prestigious Global Water Awards. DEWA received this award for its fully automated Hydro Insight system, a world first for a water utility. DEWA developed the system internally using the latest AI and data science technologies developed in-house for smart grid automation and management. The system allows DEWA to monitor over 1 million smart meters, and improve visibility on a range of areas, including water meter anomalies. This smart system has dramatically decreased meter anomaly detection time, from 30 days to a mere 1 hour, resulting in the conservation of 214 million gallons of water.

HE Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, MD and CEO of DEWA, expressed his happiness at DEWA winning one of the most prominent international water awards. Al Tayer highlighted that the award comes in recognition of one of the world’s largest, advanced infrastructure projects for smart water meters.
