Research Areas

Five research divisions

U-Ctrl organizes its work into five divisions spanning hardware, data, policy, community, and training — each editable in wp-admin under Research Areas.

Water Loss & Leakage Detection Research

Field-testing IoT sensors on household tanks, wells, and pump lines to detect, localize, and quantify leakage in near real time — directly targeting the 29–53% non-revenue water loss documented across Palestinian municipalities.

Smart IoT Solutions for Water Management

Designing low-cost, locally serviceable sensor and control hardware (built on accessible platforms like Arduino) suited to Palestinian household water infrastructure and intermittent connectivity.

Policy & Regulatory Analysis

Translating pilot findings into concrete recommendations for the Palestinian Water Authority and regional regulatory bodies, aligned with UN SDG 6.

Community Impact Studies

Measuring household-level outcomes — cost savings, water availability, and quality of life — across pilot communities to build a replicable evidence base.

Technology Transfer Programs

Training local technicians and partner organizations to install, maintain, and eventually manufacture U-Ctrl systems, building regional capacity rather than dependency.
