Aidala, Qadaffy Idris, Evy Damayanti Water supply for domestic and industrial purposes Water is an important source of lives and we all aware of this. Globally, water resources are diminishing because of water leakages from the pipe network. The increasing demand for water means that the minimization of water loss through leakage control is crucial in today's world. Generally all water pipe networks in the world suffer the same problem of water loss. It is only a matter of the amount of the water loss that varies globally. Many believe that, poor pipe network is to blame for the huge amount of loss. The combination of poor infrastructure, volume of water loss depends on the condition of the mains and service connections that make up the network, local factors such as the type of soil, the utility's operational practice, the level of trained manpower and standard of equipment applied to controlling the losses. The result of poor infrastructure and leaking pipes are only part of the loss factors. Often, low tariff structures or inadequate metering policies resulted in misuse of waters, apparent loss and excessive use of water resources.
