ASTERRA was awarded a multi-year contract with AEGEA, the largest private sanitation company in Brazil. Under the contract, ASTERRA will provide their Recover solution for water leak detection for three years, 2024 through the end of 2026.
“AEGEA has taken a giant leap forward in protecting their community by choosing ASTERRA solutions. They understand that sustainability is directly related to innovation, and new technologies, like Recover, will help them meet their demands in an efficient way,” said Gadi Kovarsky, general manager of ASTERRA’s Water Division.
AEGEA will use ASTERRA’s EO Discover platform, which provides utility leaders and infrastructure teams with immediate information about water leaks and climate metrics. ASTERRA’s award-winning solution images systems using polarimetric synthetic aperture radar (PolSAR) to sense and evaluate soil moisture. The data is processed through ASTERRA’s patented algorithms and delivered directly to the EO Discover dashboard. Crews use this field maps application to log investigation results, leak location, and other data.

Many regions are adopting EO Discover because it is a cost-effective and efficient way to monitor systems and meet sustainability goals. The many benefits of EO Discover include the tracking of results and the easy preparation of benchmark reports. This includes project costs, cost savings, gallons of water saved, and other key indicators.
The contract with AEGEA was accomplished in collaboration with ASTERRA partner, Nortech. Last year brought a rapid expansion of ASTERRA contracts in Brazil because ASTERRA solutions show strong return on investment and improvements in the service quality, while making it easy to locate and address infrastructure problems and report positive climate impacts. ASTERRA solutions are also being used by water and sanitation utilities in Curitiba, Joinville, and São Paulo, and should also be present in Goiânia, Minas Gerais, and Sorocaba.
