Reduce Water Loss
Aging water pipes are leaking and breaking, wasting large amounts of treated potable water and contributing to lost revenues for water utilities.
Bentley recommends applying its software applications to the International Water Association Best Practices, which combine four strategies to address real loss. A real-time hydraulic model can help each strategy with:
- Active Leakage Control: Locate and quantify leakage
- Pressure Management: Reduce leakage through planned pressure reduction
- Speed and Quality of Repairs: Identify areas to be shut down to repair leaks; areas that will be affected if leaks are not repaired; and areas that will be offline during repairs
- Infrastructure Management:Assess whether it’s best to replace pipes or to continue to repair them
