Ensuring precision in water balance tracking with HULO according to VWBA guidelines As sustainability reporting (CSRD) becomes more integral to corporate strategies, companies are starting to take water management more seriously. Accurate water balance tracking not only helps detect leaks but also supports replenishment goals, making a real impact on sustainability efforts. At HULO, we believe that the Volume-Based Water Accounting (VWBA) method helps to ensure transparency in how much water can genuinely be replenished. Our real-time monitoring and precise reporting methodologies empower organizations to minimize water losses and optimize water use effectively. Want to explore how VWBA principles can enhance your water management? Check out the VWBA Guidebook from the CEO Water Mandate for valuable insights.

✨ Honesty, adventure, achievement, and respect ! Our core values are the heartbeat of everything we do! Recently, we hit pause on the daily grind to reconnect, recharge, and refocus on what really fuels us; our amazing team and the exciting journey ahead. The day kicked off with some soul-searching, reflecting on the values that bond us: honesty, adventure, achievement, and respect. It was a reminder of the passion and ambition that keeps us moving forward. After a laid-back lunch, we swapped desks for the great outdoors, exploring Frisian nature by boat, kayak, and SUP. 🚣 It was all about soaking in the fresh air, laughter, and the simple joy of being outside together. And what's a day of fun without a challenge? A team puzzle kept us on our toes, proving once again that teamwork makes the dream work! We wrapped up this epic day with a BBQ at Robbert's place, where the food was sizzling, and the conversations were flowing. The perfect end to a day with plenty of laughs. Feeling grateful for this powerhouse team and all the memories we’re making. Here’s to more adventures, more wins, and more fun, onward and upward, together! 💥 #TeamHULO #TogetherWeGrow #Gratitude #TeamBuilding

Understanding water balance in distribution systems Effective water management starts with a deep understanding of the water balance within distribution systems. This means tracking water from its source all the way to consumption, while identifying both real and apparent losses. For utilities, mastering this balance is key to maximizing resource efficiency and sustainability. While the Netherlands has commendably low leakage rates, further improvements are always possible. Losses in water systems aren't just about visible leaks. Apparent losses, such as inaccuracies in metering, errors in data handling, and even unauthorized consumption, play a significant role in the overall picture of Non-Revenue Water (NRW). These invisible challenges often go unnoticed but can represent a considerable portion of the water that doesn’t generate revenue for utilities. Traditional leak detection methods, while effective in many cases, often struggle to distinguish between real and apparent losses. Complex distribution networks, combined with issues like metering inaccuracies, can hinder precise water loss management. At HULO.ai, we’re focused on these subtle yet impactful challenges. By continuously monitoring water flow and applying advanced data analysis, we detect anomalies and reduce not just visible leaks, but also the often-overlooked apparent losses. Our approach paves the way for more effective water management, helping utilities around the world safeguard this precious resource 🌍💧. #WaterManagement #Innovation #DataAnalysis #HULO #SustainableWater #TechSolutions Andy Lurling Meron Mekonnen LUMO Labs Sybo Zijlstra NV NOM Wetsus, European Centre of Excellence for Sustainable Water Technology WaterCampus Water Alliance

HULO.ai in #Oman! 💧 Hydroinformatic Engineer Laura Garzon Useche and Frank van der Hulst, our co-founder, have spent four days in Oman for our project as a subcontractor of Witteveen Bos at Nama Group, in collaboration with Blue Gold Technology. They have been leading workshops related to the project we’re working on. The project focuses on implementing innovative technologies for Non-Revenue Water (#NRW) reduction. HULO’s technology is key in saving valuable time when detecting and finding new leaks—reducing both the duration of leaks and the time required for leak localization. The total approach of real-time monitoring (HULO), consultative experts (Witteveen Bos) and field expertise (BlueGold Technology) enables water loss control, finding both existing as new leaks. We’re proud to be part of this initiative and look forward to the impact we can make together. #NRWReduction #WaterManagement #Innovation #HULO #Oman #Collaboration Andy Lurling Meron Mekonnen LUMO Labs Sybo Zijlstra NV NOM Michel Bretveld Jeremy Llewellyn Chris Smith Teeba Al-Harrasi
