Title Non-Revenue Water – International Best Practice for Assessment, Monitoring and Control
Author Mr. Malcolm Farley
Company Aqua2 Consulting
Synopsis
Because of the wide diversity of formats and definitions used for water balance calculations internationally, there has been an urgent need for a common international terminology. Drawing on the best practice from many countries, the IWA Task Force on Water Losses has produced an international best practice approach for water balance calculations.

This paper describes the IWA approach to developing a NRW strategy, a water balance calculation, and an international measure of performance - the international leakage index (ILI).
