Component Analysis of UAC, Apparent Losses, Annual Real Losses and Night Flows

Water Loss Research and Analysis Component Analysis

Target Audience

Intermediate level students who understand basic components of a Water Balance and basic concepts of Non-Revenue Water.

Description

WLR&A Ltd are pleased to collaborate with Allan Lambert and Agile H2O Ltd to produce a series of new Non-Revenue Water training courses.

This comprehensive course delves into the intricate realm of water management, equipping you with a valuable and diverse skill set. You’ll embark on a journey to unlock the potential of Component Analysis, enhancing insights from Water Balance and Night Flow Analysis. Explore the domain of Unbilled Authorized Consumption, mastering the estimation of its intricate components. Navigate Apparent Losses, gaining expertise in evaluating and estimating their distinct facets. Unravel the complexities of Unavoidable Background Leakage, Reported and Unreported Bursts, and Unavoidable Annual Real Losses, honing your calculation skills. Develop your ability to analyse Minimum Night Flows (MNFs), proficiently computing and strategically applying them for timely intervention. Upon course completion, you’ll possess a profound understanding, enabling informed decisions for efficient water resource management and substantial loss reduction.
