Pilot Programs

From prototype to field data

The current pilot phase runs U-Ctrl sensor and control units on household tank/well/pump systems, feeding a growing dataset on leak detection and water savings. Year 1 funding scales this from an initial cohort to 50–100 households across the West Bank.

U-Ctrl prototype: Arduino-based control unit connected to a tank/well test rig

How the system works

Sensors on the municipal-fed tank and the well monitor water levels continuously. A controller manages the pump between the two sources, routing water toward the household while logging supply patterns — surfacing leaks and inefficiencies that go unnoticed in a manual setup.

System Architecture

Municipal water and well water both feed a central tank via sensor-monitored inlets. A pump moves water between tank, well, and house on demand, with every transition logged for the research dataset.
