The book provides a scientific approach into appraising
Intermittent Water Supply (IWS) on a global scale through the
analysis of available information and data based on a structured
methodology for estimating the population affected by IWS worldwide
both by country and by geographical regions. The root causes and
the implications of IWS are dealt with in a concise manner
providing a detailed account of the reasons for resistance to
change towards 24x7 supply. A major contribution of the book is in
providing an understanding of water losses in the context of IWS as
well as the related difficulties in leakage detection and metering
under such conditions. A methodology is presented for transitioning
from IWS to continuous supply covering technical, social and
communication issues which are considered of paramount importance
for a successful transition. Relevant case studies from across the
globe are included in the book to provide evidence based
information and data relating to the many and diverse challenges
faced daily by water utilities operating their networks under IWS.
