Globally, water demand is rising and resources are diminishing.
Water loss from the distribution network has long been a feature of
operations management, even in countries with a well-developed
infrastructure and good operating practices. As well as leakage
('real' losses), there are other losses from the network (apparent
losses) that can often be reduced by the introduction of a
regulatory framework and customer metering and charging policies.
Such programmes can run alongside initiatives to tackle leakage and
improve the pipe network. Together, these programmes form a
strategy for restoring a potentially huge lost resource. Losses in
Water Distribution Networks: A Practitioners Guide to Assessment,
Monitoring and Control provides the key to developing a water loss
strategy. It presents a diagnostic approach, followed by the
implementation of solutions that are both practicable and
achievable, and which can be applied to any water company, anywhere
in the world to develop a water loss management strategy. The aim
of the book is to allow water network operators to: .understand the
significance and assess the scale of water loss components;
.quantify the volume of losses by measurement or estimation;
.become aware of the various techniques to monitor and control
leakage; .select the appropriate network management practices and
equipment to support the techniques; .develop a strategy for a
particular network by considering the economic and other factors
relevant to the local conditions and infrastructure; .design a
leakage management and control system appropriate to local
conditions and constraints; .be aware of the operation and
maintenance and training requirements to sustain the policies and
practices once in place. Losses in Water Distribution Networks: A
Practitioners Guide to Assessment, Monitoring and Control will be
of interest to water network operators, consultants, and other
industry practitioners who are about to embark on a water loss
management programme, or who wish to review their existing
procedures.
