Inspiration Water is one of the most critical resources for communities, yet a large amount of treated water is lost due to leakages in distribution networks. While studying infrastructure systems and observing the challenges faced by public utilities such as the Water and Sanitation Corporation (WASAC), we realized that many leaks are detected late, after significant water loss has already occurred.

This inspired us to develop a Water Leakage Detection System that can help identify leaks earlier and provide faster responses. Our goal was to explore how digital monitoring and data analysis could improve water infrastructure management and reduce water wastage.

Since winning, HydroSense has become DropTraQ, a registered social enterprise. The team received a CodeXtreme venture grant, is building its first field prototype, and has conducted research with WASAC
