Water losses, including leakage, are top issues in cities with very old piping systems or deteriorated infrastructure.
"Leakage rates are over 40 percent in Italy, and they are even higher in other countries," explains Professor Ezio Todini, Ph.D., University of Bologna, Italy.
"To reduce these losses, it is critical that water distribution professionals learn how to efficiently design new networks and rehabilitate existing ones".
