NSW schools trial technology to detect water leaks

Schools in New South Wales are trialling artificial-intelligence technology designed to detect water leaks, ABC News Australia reports. The NSW government says schools use about two million megalitres of water each year. About 20 per cent of that volume is lost through leaks, according to the government.
The trial is intended to identify leaks and help prevent that loss. The supplied material does not explain how the technology works, how many schools are participating or when the trial will be assessed. No figures are provided on savings achieved so far, the cost of the system or plans for wider deployment.
The government’s estimate is the only numerical assessment included in the available source material.
