Preconference workshop
Hotel International, 10:00 – 16:00
What you need to know about water loss performance indicators (… and other tricks!) Around the world, water utilities, regulators and water professionals of all sorts continuing to use a misleading and over-simplifying performance indicator – NRW expressed as percentage of system input volume.
Projects valued at many hundreds of millions of Euros or Dollars deemed to have failed – but maybe they haven’t and only a wrong indicator has been used.
When assessing the NRW situation of a water utility, comparing different utilities, planning water loss reduction interventions or monitoring projects the right indicators have to be used.
This workshop will explain the principles and make participants understand the strengths and weaknesses of the different PIs, when to use and how to calculate them.
Target Audience: - Policy makers and regulators - Water utility managers - Consultants - Representatives from International Funding Agencies and NGOs
Expected level of expertise of participants:
- Basic water sector knowledge - Proficiency in English or Romanian language
Learning Objectives: The objective of the course is to give the Learner a good understanding on:
How to choose water loss performance indicators How to calculate the most appropriate performance indicator

The Water Loss Specialist Group is strongly focused on all treated water that is lost, which is mostly from underground leaks on water-mains and water service pipes, and also how to reduce those losses through leak detection and hydraulic control. However those losses include any
water that has entered the networks following treatment, and fails to get through to consumers/customers. Identifying how much water is being lost is the recommended starting place for utilities and practioners. The group has developed a method of accounting for all water entering a water supply system, and this process has been accepted world –wide by everyone associated with managing water networks. The terminology then changed from “Unaccounted For Water”’ to “Non Revenue Water”, on the basis that all water can now be accounted for, albeit that the IWA process for accounting for water will highlight the strengths and weaknesses of data they have for measurement. This “top down” approach provides a strategic direction for utility managers to determine their best approach to reducing losses. The group has also identified four important actions that can be taken to reduce water losses, and subsequently this has been graphically shown as a strategic plan to reduce the overall volume of lost water.
A key message to the industry that is an outcome from this work, is that percentages are a poor method of measuring losses when used to measure progress, or as comparisons to other similar utilities. An emphasis has been placed on having accurate data regarding flow measurement into water distribution networks, and water pressure variance. These are key factors to be known in order to identify where most leakage is, and to understand where leaks can be found and how leaks can be stopped from.
