The concessionaire Águas de Manaus, part of the Aegea group, runs an operational control centre in the Aleixo district that supervises more than 4,000 km of mains, 43 reservoirs and 56 wells, allowing single operators to act on distant assets remotely. Since November 2024 the centre has been feeding a machine-learning model with the daily telemetry stream so it can learn normal consumption and pressure patterns and flag deviations that point to a burst or a failing pump before customers notice an interruption; the company also names extreme-drought impact forecasting as a future aim rather than a current capability. Coverage claims are strong — the utility reports water reaching 99 per cent of the capital and about 700 million litres delivered a day — but the losses have not followed.
what does this mean?
The strongest source is an independent non-academic evaluation: an audit office, a government or EU review, or an NGO. It grades who did the looking — not how well the project went. All four grades →📊 Impact
Instituto Trata Brasil and GO Associados, using 2024 SINISA data, put Manaus's distribution losses at 45.25 per cent against a national average of 41.51 per cent, and rank the city among the seven worst state capitals for sanitation. The utility separately reports 99 per cent water coverage and about 700 million litres supplied daily.
🎓 Lesson
An anomaly detector reads the network it is given. Manaus has the control room, the telemetry and now the model, and still loses nearly half its treated water — because most of that loss sits in ageing pipe and irregular connections, which no amount of pattern learning replaces. The instrumentation is the cheap part.
