Real and apparent water loss affects all water systems. Minimizing these portions of the water balance enables your system to maximize revenues and ensure the integrity of the system. To help your efforts, we are holding a training series to help you identify and reduce water loss. It will also enable you to engage with other systems addressing similar issues. The training series is designed to help you identify and understand water loss; determine the categories of water usage and loss throughout your system; and assess the quantities of water that are generating revenue and those that are not.
