Saving water in conditions of abundance – do smart meters make sense?

Water is one of the most valuable resources on Earth. However, in regions like Norway, Switzerland, or the Alpine areas, it is often perceived as an unlimited asset. The abundance of water in such places can create the illusion that conservation is unnecessary. But should we ignore the benefits of mindful water consumption, even in areas where water is not scarce?

Why is it important to monitor water usage?

Even in regions with abundant freshwater, its use comes with costs:

Costs for water treatment and supply. Before water reaches households, it undergoes a lengthy process: purification, transportation, and quality control. These processes require significant financial and energy investments.

Environmental impact. Excessive water use can strain infrastructure and lead to negative environmental consequences. For instance, the energy used for water treatment and supply can contribute to carbon dioxide emissions.

Encouraging a responsible approach to resources. Smart meters help promote a culture of mindful consumption. Even in regions with plentiful water, they encourage people to pay attention to their habits and use only what is necessary.

Modern smart meters, like ADDRA, provide accurate real-time data on water consumption. They help:

  • Monitor water usage down to one liter per hour;
  • Notify users of potential leaks or emergencies;
  • Lower bills through precise monitoring and flow control;
  • Prevent resource waste, such as during irrigation or pool filling.

Even when water is abundantly available, its thoughtful use matters. Conscious water consumption is not only about saving money and protecting the environment but also about setting an example for future generations on how to responsibly care for natural resources.

Smart meters like ADDRA empower every user to contribute to sustainable development while reducing operational costs. And while water may seem like an inexhaustible resource today, its efficient use ensures stability and comfort for years to come.
