What Is Non-Revenue Water (NRW) ???
![Page 5: Water Loss Control Workshop - PNWS-AWWA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012501/617a46bc467571351636340b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What Is Non-Revenue Water (NRW)?
✤ Non Revenue Water consists of:
✤ Real Losses
✤ Apparent Losses
![Page 6: Water Loss Control Workshop - PNWS-AWWA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012501/617a46bc467571351636340b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Apparent Losses
![Page 7: Water Loss Control Workshop - PNWS-AWWA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012501/617a46bc467571351636340b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Real Losses
![Page 8: Water Loss Control Workshop - PNWS-AWWA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012501/617a46bc467571351636340b/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Benefits of Water Loss Control
REAL LOSSES
✤ Saves WATER!
✤ Creates an additional supply – defers capital expenditures and marginal supply development
APPARENT LOSSES
✤ Does not save water
✤ Optimizes REVENUE GENERATION
![Page 9: Water Loss Control Workshop - PNWS-AWWA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012501/617a46bc467571351636340b/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What Can Happen without NRW Management?
![Page 10: Water Loss Control Workshop - PNWS-AWWA](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022012501/617a46bc467571351636340b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Benefits of NRW Management
✤ Identify what you DON’T know
✤ Comprehensive understanding of your system
✤ Financial Benefits – Reduction in O&M & CIP costs
✤ Better Asset Management
✤ Optimized Meter Replacement/Management
✤ Water Conservation (Supply Side & Demand Side)
✤ Sustainability (Water/Energy Nexus)
✤ Be Ahead of Regulatory Arena
✤ Less Liability
✤ Build Credibility with Stakeholders and Regulators
