The great majority of pressurised water distribution networks have very great water losses. This is due to the fact that the leaks are not visible since the pipelines are buried. Since detecting the leaks, to then repair or renew the parts of the network affected, involves significant investments, the efficiencies stay very low, above all in the systems in which water is highly subsidised.
The disadvantages of leaks are very clear. Apart from the loss of water itself, the management of these networks in drought periods is carried out with the third-world procedure of cutting off the supply, while there are constant problems with the quality of the water distributed (through pathogenic intrusion).
This course gives a general view of the problem, of the circumstances which propitiate an improvement in efficiency and ultimately of the strategies to implement in order to improve this.
