Water meter inaccuracy assessment and operation control considering customer information

DOI: https://doi.org/10.56542/wi.jwempo.v1.i1.a4.2024

Abstract: Water Meter Inaccuracy (WMI) is one of the apparent loss components contributing to an increase in non-revenue water. The estimation of the volume of water lost due to WMI and control within a utility is still a challenge; thus, the current study investigated its field operation using customer c [...] Read more
