Problems of energy overconsumption and how efficient resource management helps combat climate change in countries with excess water resources

Every year, up to 40% of water is lost in global water supply systems. These leaks not only lead to significant losses of this vital resource but also result in enormous electricity consumption required for transporting the lost water. This closed cycle of water and energy overconsumption exacerbates the climate crisis, demanding urgent solutions for a sustainable future.

The energy spent on pumping water that never reaches consumers is equivalent to billions of kilowatt-hours annually. In countries with highly developed infrastructures, such as Norway and Switzerland, where there is no water shortage, such losses directly increase the carbon footprint due to excessive energy consumption.

At the same time, regions like Valencia in Spain experience flooding caused by excessive rainfall, leading to additional costs for infrastructure restoration. This is a vivid example of how inefficient water and energy management worsens the effects of climate change.

ADD GRUP offers effective resource management solutions. Our ADDRA ultrasonic meters help minimize water and energy losses through:

  • High measurement accuracy – even minimal leaks are detected at an early stage.
  • IoT integration – enables real-time data transmission on consumption and detected issues.
  • Remote management capability – for example, automatic water shutoff when leaks or excessive consumption are detected.

For countries with excess water, this solution helps minimize energy costs, while for regions facing shortages, it optimizes water use and reduces the burden on infrastructure.

Resource Savings – A Contribution to the Climate Future

The use of smart ADDRA technologies contributes to achieving global sustainable development goals:

  • Reducing energy overconsumption and CO₂ emissions.
  • Rational use of water resources.
  • Preventing climate disasters by optimizing infrastructure.

These measures are crucial for all countries—from regions with an abundance of water to those where every liter is of great value.
