INTELLIGENCE ON NON-REVENUE WATER REDUCTION, LEAKAGE CONTROL, AND UTILITY EFFICIENCY

In many utilities worldwide, more than 30% of treated water never generates revenue — lost to physical leakage, metering inaccuracies, and unauthorised consumption. Non-revenue water is not just an operational inefficiency; it represents a direct financial loss, a waste of energy and treatment resources, and a threat to long-term supply reliability.

This collection delivers intelligence on proven and emerging strategies for reducing NRW and improving overall utility efficiency: leakage detection and control, pressure management, District Metered Areas, smart metering, AI-driven leak detection, and the financing mechanisms that make large-scale efficiency programmes viable. Each report is designed to help utilities build the operational and financial case for NRW reduction investment — and deliver measurable results.

Essential intelligence for utility operations managers, asset managers, network engineers, regulators, and development finance institutions targeting measurable efficiency gains in water systems — where every percentage point of NRW reduced is revenue recovered and resilience built.
