Use cases

One method, many scales.

Any distribution network that can be described with parent–child meter relationships can be modelled hierarchically. The areas below are the most common applications.

Divide a large network into manageable zones.

Compare consumption from the city inlet down to districts and neighborhoods within one hierarchy. Turn the zone where the difference persists into a smaller field work order.

Who it is for
Water and wastewater utilities, network operations and water-loss teams
The problem
A difference seen across the whole city gives field teams no meaningful starting point.
How it creates value
Monitor large distribution systems regionally, from the main transmission inlet to districts and neighborhoods.

Facility-level visibility on a shared infrastructure.

Model the industrial zone inlet, blocks, facilities and production areas with parent–child relationships, and separate shared consumption from unexplained differences.

Who it is for
Organized industrial zones and large production facilities
The problem
On shared infrastructure it is unclear how much each facility consumes and which difference remains unexplained.
How it creates value
Compare consumption by facility, production line or tenant within a shared measurement window.

From the inlet to the building, from the building to the unit.

Compare the campus or estate inlet with building and block meters. Define common-area consumption to see which structure the difference continues in.

Who it is for
University campuses, residential estates, hotels and hospitals
The problem
Common-area consumption cannot be separated from individual unit consumption.
How it creates value
Manage campus inlet, building, block and customer-cluster levels in one hierarchy.

Compare distribution branches within the same period.

Connect the main line, secondary channels and user groups hierarchically, and review seasonal distribution differences by zone.

Who it is for
Irrigation associations and regional distribution operators
The problem
In seasonal distribution it is not clear at period end how much water each branch received.
How it creates value
Divide consumption from the main channel or line into downstream distribution branches.
Important boundary

A difference is not proof of physical leakage on its own. Meter error, missing data, unauthorized consumption, undefined operational use, boundary transfers or storage changes can also create a difference.
