Maayan Wants to Make Water Loss Visible

Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A Cameroonian water-intelligence project combines solar pressure sensors, AI leak detection, and resident-facing information about which public taps are flowing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-27 issue.

Field notes

Maayan describes a shared data stream serving two audiences: utility crews receive alerts containing a leak’s location, estimated size, and duration, while residents are intended to check tap availability through a map, WhatsApp, or SMS. Its hardware concept uses solar-powered clamp-on pressure nodes over LoRaWAN, explicitly avoiding SIM cards and recurring data costs. The site cites 42 leaks found during one overnight patrol in Douala and lists future 2026 conference appearances as part of its public track record.
