NON REVENUE WATER
What is Non Revenue Water
Non-revenue water (NRW) is basically produced, cleaned water which is lost somewhere in the water distribution system, never reaching the consumers. This is a waste of precious water resources, and water that is produced and lost without generating any revenue has negative financial as well as environmental impact. The production costs and the energy used to produce and distribute the water are wasted. And when a significant amount of water is lost, it means that more water needs to be produced and once again be distributed.
Save water – save money
Sustainable water management is, besides being good for the environment, simply good business. In the long run, a sustainable approach to efficient water supply does not cost money – it saves money, for utilities as well as for consumers.
Grenex has extensive experience in NRW management and water loss control. Our approach is built on the following:
- Conduct a water audit to establish the baseline
- Develop an NRW master plan
- Implement procedures for (annual) water auditing and master plan updates
- Install required instrumentation and monitoring devices
- Introduce performance monitoring and performance improvement in the daily work
- Implement pressure management and active leakage control
- Initiate strategic pipeline management and rehabilitation plans
- Utilise all operational data across the organisation
