Leakages control is one of the main challenges of Water Supply and Sewerage Utilities. Real losses, which included leakages, are one of the main components of non- revenue water.They cause damages to the water distribution network and affect the quality of drinking water. Therefore, their proper control and management is essential. In this training course the participants will acquire the basic knowledge on developing strategies on leakage management and detection, as well as explaining pressure management techniques and design District Metering Areas (DMA).
Target Group
This training course is developed for professionals of water supply and sewerage utilities and it is especially useful for directors of distribution and technical department, operation and maintenance engineers, metering engineers and production engineers.
