Calculating water losses is not an exact science but applying the right guidelines with all the available factors, should enable contractors to get pretty close to the true number, which then allows utilities to make the right intervention decisions. #leakdetection #waterlosses #totalleakagevolumes

Staying on top of NRW and losses takes many elements working together as we all know. Our teams have been away in the most remote of communities using a number of techniques to identify losses, theft and misuse. To be agile, we have to pack light and use equipment that has the ability to perform a number of functions. Our FIDO Tech solution ticks those boxes with aplomb. Well done Pank Mistry and team. #waterloss #nrw #conditionmonitoring #meter

It was a privilege to represent the Australian Water Sector at the 5th Cambodian Water Conference & Exhibition 2024. An inspiring few days of collaboration, innovation, and knowledge sharing with water professionals from across Cambodia and Australia. The event began with powerful speeches from H.E. Hem Vanndy, Minister of Industry, Science, Technology & Innovation (Cambodia), and H.E. Derek Yip, Australian Ambassador to Cambodia. Their leadership set the tone with a focus on creating real solutions for water sustainability. Our Australian delegation was proud to contribute to the program, sharing expertise on key topics: Asset Management and Monitoring - how can we reduce non-revenue water and improve water quality with presentations from Nick Cunningham (Osmoflo), Chris Evans (Detection Services) and Max Gray (TRILITY). Climate Resilience and Disaster Response with presentations from Melissa Mellado-Ruiz (John Holland), Huw Pohlner (Ricardo Australia), and Anna Whelan (Townsville City Council). It was an opportunity to renew the Australian Water Association's Memorandum of Understanding with the Cambodian Water Supply Association (CWA), symbolising our strong partnership and our ongoing commitment to building capacity and fostering collaboration between our countries. Another highlight was visiting the Svay Romeat Water Supply Company, which services 4,600 connections across 17 villages. Seeing firsthand how effective water management transforms communities. It was impressive to see how the station operates and to share ideas and experience with the General Manager and staff who kindly hosted conference delegates. Massive thanks to the incredible Australian delegation: Bruce Pollard (ALS), Will McLean (Clean TeQ Water Limited), Chris Evans (Detection Services), Melissa Mellado-Ruiz (John Holland), Nick Cunningham (Osmoflo), Huw Pohlner (Ricardo Australia), Darren Large (Sunwater), Anna Whelan (Townsville City Council), Max Gray (TRILITY), and Daniel Brown (Veolia Australia and New Zealand).

Water quality sensors are precision instruments, but they require meticulous maintenance to deliver accurate readings. Regular cleaning and calibration are therefore indispensable, yet they demand considerable time and resources.  Innovations like the Intellisonde are reshaping the approach to water quality monitoring by minimising maintenance demands. https://lnkd.in/gSDQneX5

Cambodia is not without its challenges in providing safe, clean drinking water to its 17 million residents. We are here at the 5th Cambodian Water Conference and Exhibition with our partners, the Australian Water Association (AWA) lending our support and expertise to local industry leaders.
