Piezometers: Measure pressure, not actual flow, making it hard to gauge true well performance
Traditional Flow Meters: $12k-$24k installation + $3k/year maintenance each
Equipment Failures: Average $180k per incident from poor monitoring
Environmental Penalties: Up to $62,142 per day for compliance violations
Reactive Maintenance: 10x more expensive than predictive approaches
Typical ROI over 10 years
