Developed at Chicago's Northwestern University, this invention aims to reduce the amount of clean, treated drinking water that is wasted by leaky pipes—an issue that costs between $12.5 million and $92 million per year in the U.S. alone.
The project, still in laboratory development, uses nanosensors to monitor water flow in critical sections of a public water system. That allows for real-time monitoring without disrupting the flow conditions and helps desert areas irrigate with optimal efficiency
