Non-Revenue Water Pre-Feasibility Tool profiled at IWA Water Loss Conference 2018

The International water Association (IWA) held their Water Loss 2018 Conference at the Century City Conference Centre in Cape Town from 7 – 9 May 2018. The conference attracted some 500 participants from more than 50 countries, with many of the world’s leading experts in attendance to discuss the latest developments, strategies, techniques and applications of international best practices as well as successful case studies.

Emanti were fortunate to participate in the conference, and in addition to attending interesting workshops and exciting networking opportunities, Emanti, together with GreenCape, presented the Non-Revenue Water Pre-Feasibility Tool. Audience feedback regarding the tool was positive, and indicted both a need for such a tool to assist municipalities with decision-making, and further consideration of expanding the tool to also consider the impacts of existing interventions (vs. new interventions).

The draft tool has been piloted at Laingsburg Municipality, and will shortly be piloted further and enhanced at a number of additional municipalities. The ultimate objective is to create a tool which is appropriate for use by a wider group of municipalities, and thereby assisting with enhancing WC/WDM planning and performance throughout South Africa. It is therefore the intention to roll-out and provide the tool to all municipalities that see a need to use it.
