Proceedings of the 3rd Regional Activity on Non-Revenue Water Management: Solutions for Drinking Water Loss Reduction
Non-Revenue Water (NRW) and Water Loss Reduction (WLR) are a problem for almost all water supply utilities around the world. It is a particularly serious issue in areas where water is scarce. It requires immediate attention and appropriate action to reduce avoidable pressures on scarce and valuable water resources. Economic losses due to unpaid consumption require managerial strategies by the water suppliers to react adequately to that challenge. In many cities losses in water supply build up in the vicinity of domestic connections. Here technical, managerial and customer related solutions should be implemented. Water efficiency must be improved in all areas of usage.
