INTELLIGENT STANDPIPE
A standpipe (15) for drawing water from a mains water supply. The standpipe includes an inlet 9 having a first coupling (7) configured to enable the standpipe to be connected to a hydrant outlet of the mains water supply and an outlet (5) having a second coupling (23) configured to enable a water delivery hose to be connected to the standpipe. A flow meter (3) measures a volume of water flowing from the inlet to the outlet and a data logger (19) is connected to the flow meter and records the volume of water measured. A global positioning system (GPS) module determines the location of the standpipe (15) when the flow meter 3 detects the water flow and a wireless communication module transmits the recorded volume of water and corresponding GPS location to a central monitoring facility (27).
