Miyahuna, Jordan's state water utility, is running a $24m USAID-backed AI platform integrating SCADA, smart meters and GIS in Amman to fight non-revenue water — near 50% of supply — with early pilot zones showing reduced pressure losses and faster leak detection.
Jordan is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world, and Miyahuna reports losing close to half of the water it treats to leakage, theft and metering errors (non-revenue water).
On 8 December 2024, Jordan's Ministry of Water and Irrigation launched a $24M 'Smart Transformation Project for Water and Wastewater Services Management,' funded through USAID's Building Water Infrastructure Programme as part of a wider $52M US financing package, linking SCADA monitoring, smart-meter data, GIS mapping and Miyahuna's enterprise systems into a single AI-assisted platform giving real-time visibility into pressure, flow and consumption across Amman's network.
In the utility's own pilot areas, officials report reduced network pressure and water losses and faster identification of faults, but neither Miyahuna nor the ministries have yet published a quantified, network-wide non-revenue-water reduction figure. Separately, independent academic modelling of the same network (a 1,164-junction hydraulic digital twin using offline LLM agents) showed a simulated 30 litre/second leak could be localised to a cluster of about 15 junctions in under two minutes at no ongoing API cost.
