Leakage / Non Revenue Water (NRW) Reduction
Non Revenue Water is the difference between the volume of water put into a system and the volume of water paid for by the customers and it comprises two components - Physical Losses and Apparent Losses.

| “The Leakage Index Calculator enables leakage engineers to calculate the level of water loss in their particular utility. The performance of the utility’s water supply system can then be compared against any other water supply system anywhere in the world. A few basic data inputs are required before the calculation results are presented.” |
Increasing demand on water resources and the heightened public awareness of leakage requires that resources are efficiently and cost effectively managed.
Throughout the Western World substantial investment is being made to reduce Leakage/NRW through various leakage management programmes.
Distribution systems have unique characteristics and the appropriate combination of programmes needs to be introduced to provide effective solutions both in terms of economics and resources.
Leakage/NRW Reduction is becoming an increasingly important aspect of meeting demand, particularly in areas where water resources are limited and Halcrow has substantial experience in this activity.
In addition to designing and monitoring zonal and pressure reduction schemes, and undertaking on-site detection, Halcrow can also assist with the collation and analysis of data identifying the cost benefit of Leakage/NRW Reduction and monitoring the effectiveness of schemes.
Halcrow can offer clients a 'one stop shop' approach to their leakage and NRW problems, drawing upon both Consultancy and Operational skills.
Contracts can be developed in a flexible way in order to allow various alternative implementation routes. Halcrow's Operations Division can offer clients partnered packages based upon a shared benefits basis.
This type of contract can be very attractive to clients both from a practical point of view and also financially.
Training Programmes
Distribution staff need to be kept up to date with new leakage management techniques and technology.
Structured training programmes need to be implemented and the appropriate staff trained. Halcrow can provide training of staff to suit the client's requirements.
