Benchmarking of Leakage from Water Reticulation Systems in South Africa 2005

The BENCHLEAK model was developed to evaluate levels of leakage and non-revenue water in potable water distribution systems. The first study involved developing the model with a limited budget for checking the various data sets used to test the model. The main objective of the follow-on study was therefore to use the model to evaluate the levels of leakage in approximately 30 water utilities throughout South Africa.
