Abstract- Water losses in water supply and distribution systems have been a serious problem all over the world causing economic costs and environmental drawbacks. Total water losses is the summation of real (physical) and apparent (commercial) losses. Main activities to reduce water losses include digitizing the components of network into Geographical Information Systems, dividing large water distribution networks into District Metered Areas, monitoring of flow rates and water pressures, carrying out yearly water balance, hydraulic modelling, pressure management, active leakage control, recording water consumption of the users, reducing meter errors and illegal water consumption.
Keywords- physical water losses, apparent water losses, Management,
