One Day Workshop
Developing and Maintaining a Strategy for
Non-Revenue Water Management
Introduction:
Non revenue water (NRW) – loss of water from leaks in pipe networks and loss of income to the utility - is high on the agenda of water utilities across the world. NRW managers in some utilities face specific problems of high losses, poor infrastructure and a lack of technology and skills.
This workshop addresses the steps for developing and maintaining a strategy – it will introduce and explain best practice procedures and methodologies developed by the International Water Association and being practised by water utilities worldwide.
Workshop Objectives:
- To review the factors that influence NRW
- To identify the methodologies and technologies to assess the scale of NRW
- To prioritise the actions needed to address water balance components
- Developing a NRW reduction strategy
