What happens when technology once used to find water on Mars is applied to real-world water challenges here on Earth?
In this video, Eric Trerotola, Sr. Sales Manager – North America at ASTERRA, shares how New Mexico is leading the way in supporting its smallest and most vulnerable water utilities through a statewide leak detection program.
Focused on communities serving fewer than 20,000 people, the initiative helps utilities reduce non-revenue water by identifying verified leak locations using satellite-based synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The result: proactive leak detection without the need for large field crews or extensive in-house resources.
From space-based analytics to actionable dashboards and partner-led field verification, this program is delivering real savings, real impact, and more equitable access to advanced water management tools.
