2 Contents t of the presentation ti The GTZ-VAG Public-Private Partnership (PPP) Objectives of the Guidelines Structure and target groups Contents of the Technical Manual A Focus on Pressure Management Case Study: Santo Amaro, São Paulo, Brazil (SABESP) Need Assessment: Stakeholder Dialogues For more information: 2

3 The partnership idea: Joining forces for success Development-policy goals PPP Private industry s goals greater development-policy impact through cooperation between development organisations and private-sector businesses Karlsruhe Institute for Technology (KIT) Institute for Water and River Basin Management (IWG) University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) Institute for Ecopreneurship (IEC) 3

4 Why is this PPP needed? Problems of the past are still the problems of today Inadequate water network infrastructure Lack of maintenance Source: K. Brothers Frequent pipe bursts Water losses increase costs and reduce income Water pollution Source: K. Brothers Limited fresh water service time Water scarcity increases the potential of social conflicts Part of a solution: pressure management for water loss reduction. 4

5 Presentation of the PPP Project Problems: Pressure peaks Leakage Quantity & Missing partitioning Empty pipes quality of networks Filled with other problems liquids or wastewater Objective of the Project: To improve the capacity of water utilities for good management of water supply networks and the implementation ti of selected management tools and technical solutions in pilot areas Focus: Pressure Management (PM) 5

6 Three areas of intervention ti Guidelines 1. Development of guidelines Composed of three documents for different target groups Understanding the need for Water Loss Management Finding adequate solutions and methodologies 2. Capacity building Trainings Selected pilot countries Multipliers Stakeholder Dialogue 3. Demonstration & Implementation of PM in pilot areas Contribute to the technical training Introduce Pressure Management Technology 6

14 Chapter 1 & 2: Preface and Introduction present the GTZ-VAG public-private partnership (PPP), point out the objectives of the PPP, raise the awareness for the significance and importance of water loss reduction, highlight the (financial) benefits of NRW reduction, emphasise the outstanding potential of pressure management for reduction of real water losses and to produce interest in participating actively in the PPP (pilot projects, trainings, multiplication, etc.). 14
