What is NRW? Non Revenue Water definition is quantity of water produced from treatment plant not billed to customer NRW = System Input – Water billed
The formula if P = System Input , C = Billed Consumption - P C = % NRW P C P * A measuring scale for Water Supply company efficiency
Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI) • Calculation for ILI is; CARL (Current Amount Real Loses) UARL (Un-Avoidable Real Loses) CARL = physical loses includes overflow, burst, and leaks UARL = (18 x Lm + 0.8 Nc + 25 Lp) Pr Pr = Pressure. Avg retic and distr mains = 3.2 Bar. Lm = Pipe length from GIS in meter. Nc = Number of Billings connections. Lp = Private length, or avg communication pipe in meter.
Physical Loss Performance:Categories; Guide to Further Action A B C D Potential for marked improvements: Consider pressure management, better active leakage practices and better maintenance. Good: further loss reduction may be uneconomic; careful analysis cost effective improvements. Poor: Tolerable only if water is plentiful and cheap; even then intensify NRW reduction efforts. Terrible: Inefficient use of resources; NRW reduction programs imperative and priority.
Why NRW is very important to any water operator? • To fully optimize usage of treated water produced by consumers • To optimize revenue • Increase operational efficiency
Where do GIS functions benefit NRW Management? • In areas of: • Water Asset Registration • DMA establishment • Network Modeling • Planning & Operation
Where do GIS functions benefit NRW Management? • Water Asset Registration
Asset Registration : eliminate OUTDATED AND UNMAINTAINED DATA • Created once in Excel and no update after that TACIT
ASSET MEASUREMENT Source : SAJH-GIS (Apr 2013)
Asset update progress over five (5) years * Source of data courtesy of SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd
GIS for Asset Registration • Single point of reporting for water assets • Avoid outdated and unmaintained data
Where do GIS functions benefit NRW reduction? • DMA Establishment
DMZ – BW16 GIS for DMA establishment Network Tracing to locate valves to be boundary valves for DMA
DMZ polygon GIS for DMA establishment
Improved DMA boundaries and data value * Source of data courtesy of SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd
DMZ Conflict Inspector (DMZ-CI) Conflict output
Result – better analysis for NRW by DMA (case on zero variance in number of connections * Source of data courtesy of SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd
Result – better analysis for NRW by DMA on commercial losses * Source of data courtesy of SAJ Holdings Sdn Bhd
GIS for DMA establishment • To provide scale-down NRW analysis by DMA • Improve DMA boundary and data value • Better analysis on commercial losses • Leakage percentage and pressure management
Where do GIS functions benefit NRW reduction? • Network Modeling
Hydraulic Modeling : tedious work in Excel and plotting in hydraulic software • Create in Excel and transfer to Model
GIS for Network Modeling • Avoid redrawing of data • Data transfer from GIS to Modeling software • Model can be shown as layer-lapping with GIS map/Google map
Where do GIS functions benefit NRW reduction? • Planning & Operation
Burst location Burst Total Pipe burst record in GIS GIS for Planning of Asset Replacement GPS to locate burst location and record in GIS
GIS for Planning of Asset Replacement • Record of Asset • Burst records • - for pipe replacement program
Record of customer affected by water disruption from billing system
GIS for DMA Maintenance • Opening/closing of valve: better management on service interruption during DMZ maintenance • - ZPT • - Step test
Challenges & lessons learned • Be achieved with: • High commitment from all staffs in the company – from top to bottom • Collaboration & Co-operations • Willing to improve • Rapid development environments, ease of use, product reliability, and vendor stability are among key contributors to selecting integrated platform options • Customer service/stakeholders’ interests must be the key indicator – fulfill the needs and efficient service
