Non-revenue water mathematical model as a tool for the establishment of water losses management in water utilities in developing areas. Applying in Batumi water utility (Batumi, Georgia)
[EN] Georgian water utility "Batumi Tskali" had been experiencing water loss of up to 85% from its deteriorating network, some of which that has been in place since the 1800s, with poor maintenance during the Soviet era contributing to pipe deterioration. In 2006, Batumi Tskali was...

| Sumario: | [EN] Georgian water utility "Batumi Tskali" had been experiencing water loss of up to 85% from its deteriorating network, some of which that has been in place since the 1800s, with poor maintenance during the Soviet era contributing to pipe deterioration. In 2006, Batumi Tskali was liquidated to form a new municipal water utility, with support from German consultancy MACS Energy and Water, leading to the implementation of an ongoing infrastructure rehabilitation program borne by KfW (German Bank for developing and rehabilitation programs). One of the most important tools to cope with the problem of water losses and establish a proper management is the Mathematical Model of the network. The aim of the Master thesis is to present the followed methodology to implement a water losses reduction program at the water utility using the different stages and data needed when building the Mathematical Model of the rehabilitated system. Furthermore, the main objective is to build a Non-revenue model where include the modeling of the water losses. |
