Abstract
Field measurement data on water leakage are not readily available and it causes inaccurate assessment of water demand and poor supply planning. In this study, the procedure for leakage detection and unaccounted water calculation is proposed and applied to a city. The city has suffered from the significant amount of leak water and the financial loss as a result. Measurements were made for pressure and flow at 18 locations before and after the repair. Repair of the leakage increased pressure up to $2.0kgf/cm^2$ and saved 17.1% of water supply from distribution reservoirs. Monetary value of annual water savings for the entire city amounts to 1 billion won. It is believed that leakage detection and data analysis conducted in this study will contribute to the change of current practice and to the establishment of better water supply management system.
