| Abstract | The study deals with the quantification of water losses in an isolated study area in Nepal. The minimum night flow measurement, successfully used for 24 hour supplies, did not prove so reliable for the study area which has an intermittent supply with flow in the distribution pipes taking place due to the overflow of the service reservoir during off-supply hours. Along with this, wastage through taps and squander age through the overflows while filling pitchers were also determined. Based on the prevalent rates for tariff, labor and materials, a cost benefit analysis reaffirms. the fact that conservation of water by a leakage control programme is very beneficial. |
