About this title

Synopsis

Water distribution systems around the world lose an average of 26 percent of treated water. This translates to nearly $14 billion of lost revenues. But reducing water loss is not just about increasing revenue. It is also about conserving water and energy, limiting carbon footprints, and supplying clean water to the global population. Written by a prestigious group of water loss experts, Water Loss Reduction is comprehensive in scope, covering in detail everything from the basics of water loss to important advances in leakage modeling and detection technology, and how utilities can deploy them to limit water loss. It explains that well-developed information management, water system simulation and optimization modeling technologies, and improved monitoring of systems are valuable tools that can help engineers effectively execute water loss reduction programs. Water Loss Reduction is a must read for water utility managers, a wide range of engineers, including water resources, hydraulic, and environmental, as well as teachers and students of the water engineering disciplines.

Review

Water Loss Reduction is a really informative book. It will help water utilities to understand water losses, build a sustainable, deliverable and viable program to reduce their losses. --Stuart Hamilton, Managing Director, JD7 Ltd

The book provides the right balance of practical knowledge and advanced water loss management techniques. The impressive list of experts who contributed to it ensures that not only simple, but also more sophisticated and effective methodologies are presented that could be implemented by practitioners around the world to reduce water losses in their supply systems. --Dragan Savic, Professor, University of Exeter

This book provides water engineers with cost-effective, evidence-based methods to reduce water mains leakage. Optimization methods have been combined with geospatial and water mains network modeling techniques to support existing leakage reduction practice. Implementation is now required to significantly reduce leakage and enable the water industry to meet its 21st century sustainability and energy saving targets. --Paul Sage, Managing Director, WITSConsult Ltd
