Malcolm l Farley s Blue Skies Pannel (London, 2010) The best future water supply systems: Will not leak (Dennis Dellow) Will last for more than one hundred years Wll be monitored/controlled in real time Will have full AMR Estimating the ELL and defining a strategy to reach it JPM IWA Water Loss 2010 S.Paulo 2
Are we solving the wrong problem?

This system: Will leak It will be difficult to know when/where it is leaking Will not last 100 years but it is cheaper, faster and easier e to buiild it this way (in the short run) JPM IWA Water Loss 2010 S.Paulo 5
