Brazil is implementing technological solutions to address water management and efficiency challenges. The federal government has established a target to reduce water losses in the sanitation sector to a maximum of 25% by 2033, addressing a current loss of approximately 40% of all produced water.

To achieve these goals, the industry is adopting data-driven technologies, including artificial intelligence, telemetry, and the Artificial Intelligence of Things (AIoT), to monitor consumption and identify leaks. In the agricultural sector, drip irrigation is being utilized to boost sugarcane productivity by an average of 50% through precise water and nutrient application. This method, which enables fertigation, can potentially double the productive longevity of sugarcane fields.

Efforts to improve operational efficiency include specialized technical training for professionals, such as those from Saev Ambiental, focusing on the use of flow macrometers to compare production data with network distribution. Additionally, engineering forums like the XXI SemEAr environmental engineering week have highlighted the necessity of addressing water security, infrastructure, and the protection of water sources to manage existing resources effectively.
