Author Description

Water distribution systems around the world lose an average of 26 percent of treated water. This translates to nearly $14 billion of lost revenues. But reducing water loss is not just about increasing revenue. It is also about conserving water and energy, limiting carbon footprints, and supplying clean water to the global population. Written by a prestigious group of water loss experts, Water Loss Reduction is comprehensive in scope, covering in detail everything from the basics of water loss to important advances in leakage modeling and detection technology, and how utilities can deploy them to limit water loss. It explains that well-developed information management, water system simulation and optimization modeling technologies, and improved monitoring of systems are valuable tools that can help engineers effectively execute water loss reduction programs. Water Loss Reduction is a must read for water utility managers, a wide range of engineers, including water resources, hydraulic, and environmental, as well as teachers and students of the water engineering disciplines.
