The Use of Frontier Analysis to Assess the Technical Rigor of Water Loss PI's - Alan Wyatt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wv1pNr1wAQ8 The American Water Works Association (AWWA) has developed and disseminated advanced methods and performance indicators for assessing and reducing water losses in North America, based in large part on the methods and indicators developed [...]
The knowledge of leak noise and Active Leakage Control case studies in China - York Yuxi Wang https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vWg54CJElDo Although water leak detection activities in China mainland started as early as in 1970s, the awareness of ‘Active Leakage Control’ hasn’t been fully understood till entering the millennium. In fact, we as the ‘IWA China [...]
Failure of ageing and deteriorated water mains is a threat to the structural integrity of a water supply network, causing adverse effects such as service disruptions, revenue loss, and property damage. However, just because something is old, doesn’t mean it needs replacing. Knowing your current asset health will reveal maintenance and capacity issues before they become problematic, enabling targeted planning both financially and operationally. This presentation is the second in a three-part series from Mueller showcasing how a staged approach to pipeline asset management using machine learning and non-invasive IOT technologies is being adopted by utilities around the world. Case studies will be shared highlighting the successful implementation of this approach in the North America region. Maintaining and upgrading North America’s water pipelines is a pressing infrastructure challenge. The AWWA estimates, that a 1 trillion-dollar investment in water pipelines is required over the next 25 years. Part 1 of this series was presented on May 8th covering the Asia Pacific region and Part 3 will showcase how this approach has been adapted in Europe and will be presented as part of this IWA series of Webinars on May 13th, 2020.

Case studies will be shared highlighting the successful implementation of this approach in the Asia Pacific region, which has led to informed intervention decisions being made to reduce NRW and extend asset life. Parts 2 and 3 of this series will showcase how this approach has been adapted in North America and Europe and will be presented as part of this IWA series of Webinars on the 11th and 13th May 2020 respectively.
Non-Revenue Water (NRW) projects are not new in Malaysia, with most States having undertaken one either internally or through a third party contractor. Many of these projects have been holistic and performance based, ensuring that success is rewarded. The issue comes with sustaining the results of any short term project and ensuring the NRW levels [...]
Tooling for Leakage detection support in systems with DMAs - Zdenek Sviak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hHj6EM6kpU Description The webinar will concentrate on the general needs, approaches and methods in Leakage detection support over the DMAs. The requirements on the supporting tools are given by complexity and volume of the input data, compliance with the WU organization, workflow [...]
Topic NRW in Small Systems – DMAs for PVC - Chris Leauber https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogL4hVgwHf4 Description The IWA/AWWA Free Water Audit Software determined that the vast quantity and value of NRW for the Water & Wastewater Authority of Wilson County, Tennessee, USA is real losses. This utility case study will focus on how the Authority uses [...]
Presenter: Martin Shaw Title: Trunk main Monitoring https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Lwrk3eCx8 Brief: The webinar details how a water utility in Malaysia undertook a comprehensive leak and pressure monitoring program as part of a long-term goal of reducing their Non-Revenue Water. In the past, Air Selangor used a variety of techniques to identify leaks and bursts. However, there [...]
