Fukuoka City announced a new AI-powered system to detect water pipe leaks, responding to the aging infrastructure built in the 1960s and 70s. This system uses sensors to monitor for leaks remotely, complementing existing manual methods. The city has also employed satellite imagery to identify potential leak areas, where 50 sensors will be installed by mid-November. The AI system will help locate leaks more quickly, aiming to prevent water waste in a city that has experienced drought in the past. Source: Fukuoka City / NHK
