| Abstract | The high level of unaccounted-for water (UFW) is one of the major concerns for
water supply management. Such problems arise due to the consequence of weak
management and uncertain policies in this sector. Physical losses and administrative
losses are two main major problems caused UFW, other reasons have been identified
such as the design of water supply network, the effects of urban planning and
management. The problems was addressed by data collection about the main existing
problems of Hanoi water supply network and by investigate the problems of UFW in two
pilot areas which are typical for Hanoi. The reduction of UFW is a function of
improvement of network, detection and repairing the leakage in the pipeline, network
operation and maintenance, installation of water meters for customers. Control illegal
connections, improve of water tariff and billing system, eliminate public taps, and
propaganda water works using and protection for every body are the methods to reduce
administrative losses of Hanoi water supply system. |
