Water Audit

A water audit is a systematic assessment that identifies and quantifies water losses within a distribution system, including losses due to leakages, theft, and unauthorized or illegal withdrawals, along with the financial impact of these losses on the utility.

A comprehensive water audit develops a detailed profile of the entire water distribution network and its users, enabling efficient resource management, improved system reliability, and informed decision-making.

It supports accurate diagnosis of existing operational issues, helping organizations identify root causes and implement optimum, cost-effective solutions.

The audit also provides a realistic evaluation of current system performance and efficiency, while assessing the system’s capacity for future expansion, modernization, and fault rectification.

Key Elements of a Water Audit include:

Total quantity of water produced (overall water supply)

Volume of water supplied to metered users

Volume of water supplied to unmetered users

Assessment of water losses (leakages and unaccounted-for water)

Recommended measures to control, reduce, and prevent water losses
