About Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak:

Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak is a cloud-based mapping service that supports efficient leak inspections for water utilities and contractors by leveraging satellite data and AI technology. It identifies high-risk areas for leaks in a 100m square range using data from multiple satellites and open data. The system integrates with digital water supply registers and distribution pipe maps, providing centralized management of leak risk with a 5-level evaluation. The intuitive interface allows for real-time data checks, supporting rapid leak detection and repair planning.

By registering and managing leak locations regularly, the system allows AI to reassess leak risks based on accumulated data, improving accuracy. Demonstrations conducted with the Cabinet Office and other municipalities in 2022 indicate that inspection costs could be reduced by up to 65% and investigation time by up to 85%.

The system’s high technical capabilities and low implementation barriers have been recognized, with the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications awarding it the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare Prize at the 7th Infrastructure Maintenance Grand Prize. Since its service launch in 2023, over 20 municipalities have adopted the system as of February 2025.

These challenges are common across Southeast Asia, and to protect water resources through efficient water management, Tenchijin COMPASS KnoWaterleak is being developed as a global version and is being expanded into Asia, Europe, and other regions.
