11 Results from UAE Al Ain City One DMA One year AL 2% RL 19% UAC 19% BAC 60% AL 2% UAC 12% RL 8% BAC 79% Billed Authorized Consumption: From 60 % to 79 % Reason: DMA joint survey Real Losses: From 19 % to 8 % Reason: Repair of 50+ leaks found Increase in Billed Consumption: 190,000 m³/year Decrease in Real Losses: 235,000 m³/year Total improvement of NRW: 250,000 m³/year 11 Property of NIRAS

12 Results from UAE Al Ain Obtained after one year Documented Annual Savings for 19 DMAS: Water ~ 1.6 mill. m³ Cost ~ 3.2 mill. EUR ROI ~ 1½ years Potential Annual Savings for 105 DMAS: Water ~ 16 mill. m³ Cost ~ 32 mill. EUR 12 Property of NIRAS

13 Leakage Management The Four Pillars of Leakage Management in Water Distribution Networks PRESSURE MANAGEMENT Pressure optimization reduces burst frequency and losses from existing leakages Reduces run times of reported leakages thus minimizing losses SPEED & QUALITY OF REPAIRS Unavoidable Annual Real Losses Economic Level of Leakage Current Annual Real Losses ACTIVE LEAKAGE CONTROL Reduces lifetime of unreported leakages A well maintained network directly reduces the burst frequency and minimizes background leakage PIPELINE MANAGEMENT & REHABILITATION 13 Property of NIRAS
