Transforming Water Loss Reduction at Scale with Jackson Energy Authority

This webinar explores how satellite-based leak detection is transforming the way utilities identify subsurface leaks across large-scale distribution networks. Capable of detecting leaks up to 10 feet underground and scanning vast service areas up to 1,400 square miles in a single pass, this advanced technology provides system-wide visibility into real water loss happening below the surface. Hear from Jackson Energy Authority (JEA) on how they leveraged satellite insights and AI to find leaks totaling approximately 120 million gallons (MG) over a 12-month period.

This session reviews how satellite-mounted L-Band polarimetric Synthetic Aperture Radar (PolSAR) works, its different applications, and the critical role of AI-driven analytics in delivering accurate results. We’ll also discuss how satellite-based insights integrate with traditional approaches such as acoustic detection to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and improve overall leak detection performance.

Attendees will gain a clear understanding of how utilities are using advanced satellite technology to significantly reduce water loss, increase productivity in the field, and strengthen long-term water resilience.
