GIS-Based Non-Revenue Water Mapping And Analysis
Abstract
Water loss from water distribution network is a major concern to water utilities. Water utilities around the world are becoming more focused on adopting a proactive approach to managing water loss. The amount of lost water can be significant, reaching levels as high as 50% of production. AbuDhabi Distribution Company, the main distributor of potable water in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, is widely paying attention to water losses and investing in their resources to reduce it to the acceptable level as per Abu Dhabi Emirate Regulation Entity. Water balance analysis is the most widely used method for quantifying water losses. Guidelines and standard procedures for performing water balance analysis is mainly provided as a best practice document by the International Water Association (IWA). Experience shows that successful implementation of this best practice depends to a large extent on the ability to efficiently collect and integrate data from various sources. These data sources include metered and un-metered consumption records, water supply data, and water network asset inventory. It will also require an understanding of various components contributing to the water loss. This paper illustrates the developing of a GIS-based method to facilitate identification of non-revenue water as part of water balance analysis procedure. The analysis integrates data from GIS asset, water
interface points’ record, Sector Measuring points data loggers’ system and Consumption records. The paper also compares the non-revenue water percentage in different years for selected sectors and highlights the areas with high percentage comparing with others and against the international average non-revenue water percentage. The analysis was conducted for Abu Dhabi Island.

Cost Management Of Construction Projects
Introduction
The first step in the cost management process group is to answer the questions:
‘How much will the project cost?’ ‘
How accurate is this estimate?’
Project managers make many of their day-to-day decisions based on estimates and the accuracy of these can have a big influence on the outcome of the project. Experience suggests that projects launched without an accurate initial estimate are far more likely to experience serious problems than those where sound estimates were made. One of the keys to successful project completion is an accurate cost estimate and a realistic risk assessment.

Water Technologies, Treatment Infrastructure And Networks
With the clock now running on the climate emergency, water technologies, treatment infrastructure and networks play an essential role in terms of public health, social justice, food supplies, the fight against pollution, regional resilience and the preservation of resources. Tackling these challenges is critical:
they have shown us that our lifestyles are under threat and that we need to change them right now, humanity cannot go on living in the same way. There is no turning back. Our world is different now, and we must adapt.

The Role Of Water Treatment In The Effective Operation Of Steam Systems
Executive Summary : In even a relatively small country like the UK, raw water quality varies considerably from region to region. If these variations are not catered for properly, organisations will see a dramatic impact on the efficacy of their steam system operations. The type and level of impurities in water supplies from different utilities needs to be analysed carefully and considerable expertise needs to be applied to create the most effective water treatment regime for a particular system and its processes. The advantages of applying a proper water treatment programme are considerable, not only in protecting the boiler and wider steam system from corrosion and potentially high maintenance costs, but also
improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, maximizing productivity, minimizing the use of treatment chemicals and lowering the total cost ownership of plant. This white paper reviews the causes and types of impurities found in water, the impact they can have on steam systems and how they can be controlled through softening technologies, and chemical treatment or reverse osmosis.
