WLR&A Ltd are pleased to collaborate with Allan Lambert to produce a series of new Non-Revenue Water training courses.

The series of courses is split into Basic, Intermediate and Advanced curricula

This curriculum establishes the foundation concepts of Non-Revenue Water Reduction.

Who should enroll on this curriculum?

This set of 3 courses is suitable for anyone who is either new to the subject of Non-Revenue Water, or someone who knows a little about the subject, but wants to improve the foundations of their understanding.

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand how the basic principles of the IWA Water Balance evolved
  • Understand how the IWA Water Balance was adopted and adapted internationally
  • Name the components of the Enhanced IWA Water Balance
  • Describe the elements of each component of the Enhanced IWA Water Balance
  • Recognise the technical and business challenges in producing a reliable Water Balance
  • Understand which components in a Water Balance are bulk metered, calculated or estimated
  • Calculate a simple Water Balance using a table format
  • Understand the effects on a Water Balance when Real Losses, Apparent Losses, Unbilled Authorised Consumption and Water Exported components are reduced

Learning Outcomes

  • Describe the three Phases of Assess, Identify and Prioritise which can be used to understand uncertainty in a Water Balance calculation
  • Recognise the components in a Water Balance which are likely to cause the most uncertainty
  • Perform uncertainty calculations from Bulk Metering to NRW for an example High Income Utility with good data and a Middle/Low Income Utility with poor data
  • Describe the components of Unbilled Authorised Consumption and Apparent Losses
  • Perform uncertainty calculations from NRW to Real Losses for an example High Income Utility with good data and a Middle/Low Income Utility with poor data
  • Understand how performing uncertainty calculations can be used to prioritise interventions

Learning Outcomes

  • Understand the conservation benefits, Water Utility benefits and Customer benefits associated with Pressure Management
  • Understand how Active Leakage Control repair efficiency can be improved by combining with Pressure Management
  • Using worked examples, recognise how run time influences the annual volume of real losses across mains and services
  • Understand how Component Analysis can show where most real losses occur
  • Recognise the range of KPIs which are appropriate for use for target setting and performance tracking for an individual system as well as those appropriate for technical performance comparisons
  • Understand why using Leakage as a % of System Input Volume is a Zero-Sum performance indicator which is not fit for purpose

This curriculum of 3 courses builds on the foundation concepts of the Basics of Non-Revenue Water Reduction series, and deepens knowledge of Component Analysis, Pressure:Leak Flow Rate and Pressure:Bursts relationships. This curriculum is designed to improve theoretical understanding and practical expertise.

Who should enroll on this curriculum?

This set of 3 courses is suitable as a next step after completing the Basics curriculum. It is also suitable for anyone already working in Non-Revenue Water reduction who wishes to broaden and deepen their knowledge of key theories, equations and good practice.

Learning Outcomes

  • Learn how Component Analysis can be used to provide further insights to a Water Balance or Night Flow Analysis
  • Learn about the different components of Unbilled Authorized Consumption and how to estimate them 
  • Describe the different components of Apparent Losses and how to estimate them 
  • Understand the characteristics of Unavoidable Background Leakage, Reported and Unreported Bursts, and Unavoidable Annual Real Losses, and how to calculate them
  • Recognise the components of Minimum Night Flows, how to calculate MNFs, and how to use MNF calculations to decide when to intervene to look for unreported bursts
