Abstract
Water Supply System Performance Improvement in the Town of Pirot Using Water Balance IWA Methodology and Numerical Simulations
Highlights
The level of water losses, both real and apparent, is one of the most important efficiency issues for water supply systems around the world
When it has become obvious that integral approach for water supply system management and benchmarking was of primary interest for water utilities, International Water Association (IWA) Water Loss Task Force (WLTF) recommended Best Practice Water Balance (BPWB) and Technical Performance Indicators (PI) [19]
Reduction in Real Losses (RL) volume estimated by numerical simulations is about 16%, and reduction of the total System Input Volume (SIV) is about 7%
Summary
The level of water losses, both real and apparent, is one of the most important efficiency issues for water supply systems around the world. When it has become obvious that integral approach for water supply system management and benchmarking was of primary interest for water utilities, International Water Association (IWA) Water Loss Task Force (WLTF) recommended Best Practice Water Balance (BPWB) and Technical Performance Indicators (PI) [19]. Technical PIs recommended by IWA WLTF have been calculated for thousands of water supply systems in the world during the last two decades. Many countries have achieved significant results in water leakage management following IWA Performance Indicators and Best Practices including Denmark, Malta, USA, Austria, and Australia [5]. The first steps in water supply system benchmarking in Serbia have been performed over a decade ago [12]. The infrastructural condition of water supply systems in Serbia is similar to the ones in developing countries [10]
