Flow Guard Solutions develops affordable, AI-powered smart water meters designed to help address water scarcity by identifying leaks and reducing unnecessary water loss. Using ultrasonic sensing and AI, the system monitors water use in real time, identifies unusual consumption patterns and enables remote monitoring and shut-off, helping utilities, municipalities and property managers prevent costly leaks and better manage water consumption. Flow Guard’s technology was developed at KAUST and the company was incubated by Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of Environment, Water and Agriculture. Its participation in the EF Hult Prize was supported by Monsha’at through sponsorship and by Arweqah Alreyadah through mentorship.”Winning the EF Hult Prize gives us the opportunity to take our early contracts into city-scale deployments,” said Omar Khalifa, co-founder and CTO of Flow Guard Solutions. “We started Flow Guard because water scarcity is a global problem, and desalinating and treating water requires enormous amounts of energy. That means a leak nobody sees costs both families and communities, yet there have been few tools to help people protect their homes and their wallets. We’ve deployed our technology in homes and seen the impact ourselves: preventing leak damage and bringing water bills back in line with actual usage. Now, we want to keep going until that impact is measured in billions of liters of water saved and homes protected around the world.”
