 Objectives of Present Study
The objective of improving the service levels in the command area
of UGRs and reduction of NRW is proposed to be achieved through
the following actions:

1. Condition Assessment (‘As-is Condition’) of water supply infrastructure of

South west and West Zone – UGRs, Pumping Stations, Mains, Distribution
Network etc.
2. Demand assessment in base year (2021), intermediate years (2031 and 2041)
and ultimate year (2051)
3. Preparation / updating of the base map (elevation map) and GIS data
4. DMA formation as per norms and practicality
5. Hydraulic simulation of the network and redesign to comply with CPHEEO
norms
6. Estimation of NRW for UGR command areas
7. Proposals for system improvement and reduction of NRW to less than 15%
8. Preparation of cost estimates, BoQ and DPR

 PHASES OF WATER SUPPLY SCHEME
For the purpose of understanding the loss of water in a Municipal Water Supply
Scheme, the total system is grouped into two Phases.
 Phase I deals with the systems from source to the service reservoir
 Phase II deals with the systems from service reservoir to the house service

WATER LOSS

PHYSICAL LOSS COMMERCIAL LOSS

(REAL LOSS) (APPARENT LOSS)

Many ULBs in the country report 40-50% of NRW which

is a colossal financial loss to the utility. DJB, which is Pipe Break House

contemplates at reducing the NRW to the recommended overflows errors Anomalies

level of 15% by adopting implementable measures.

Loss)

Real losses are the physical losses of water from the distribution system, including
leakage and storage overflows. These losses inflate the water production costs since
they represent water that is extracted and treated, yet never reaches the user.

Apparent losses or Commercial losses are the non-physical losses that occur due to
consumer meter errors, data recording errors in billing systems and unauthorized
consumption. This is the water that is consumed but is not measured, accounted or
paid for.

 BENEFITS OF REDUCING NRW

1. Less of ‘intermittent supply ‘ will lead to reduced costs for storage tanks at the
consumer level
2. Optimized distribution system will secure 24 x 7 water supply
3. The SLBM of 135 lpcd can be attained through 24x7 supply
4. More stabilized water pressure throughout the distribution system resulting in
consumer satisfaction
5. Optimization of distribution system will improve water quality, reduce risk of
contamination and improve health conditions in the city
6. Volumetric billing will result in a transparent system avoiding under or over billing
of the consumers.
7. More equitable distribution of the water in all the zones of the water supply
system.
 BENEFITS OF REDUCING NRW

1. Improved revenue to the utility due to increased water sales and reduced water
production cost
2. Lower impact on the water resources and improved availability for other potential
users
3. Lower carbon footprint due to lower energy consumption
4. Optimization of distribution system will reduce energy consumption to produce
and pump water
5. Improved and more sustainable development of the city in the future
6. Delay in the costly capacity augmentation of the water supply system
7. Elimination of illegal connections and provision of new connections.
