Holistic Leakage Management - Prevent, Aware, Locate and Mend

Leakage continues to be a pressing issue for the water sector as it strives to protect water security. With tough targets set to save billions of litres of water a day by 2030 water companies need to fight battles on many fronts to stop water escaping from their networks – and this must include a focus on prevention of bursts before they add to the problem. Join this session to discuss: 

• Options for trialling new technologies without causing disruption to supplies or impacting water quality 

• The latest innovations for detecting and preventing infrastructure problems 

• The role of leakage prevention in wider smart water network strategies  

• Best practice in engaging with consumers to cut customer-side leakage
