Summary of NRW findings
• Baseline NRW given was 45%
• Data analysis of the well fields revealed a systematic overestimation of production with 5%
• Physical losses - clearly obstructed by regular and severe water reservoir overflows. Installation of control valves reduced losses by 4%
• Commercial losses - within the conversion of water meter readings to billing & revenue collection illegal interventions were found firing of a financial accountant commercial losses down with 5%
• Overall NRW went easily down to ~ 30%

Phases in NRW reduction I. Data collection & analysis
• Transform corporate culture: ownership & commitment NRW • Collect, process and analyse reliable data on flows and consumption • Establish IWA water balance (at central and DMA level) • Identify intervention options and quick wins to encourage
II. Arrange organizational setting
• assign management responsibilities to zones • appoint and roll-out care taker approach • prepare for a Central Control Unit CCU • Implement the entire NRW program
III. Specific support activities
• Logistic support caretakers (transport & stores) • Train/coach zone accountants and caretakers • Start on AM (data registration & validation) • Toys: scada, flow and pressure data management) • Standards (SOP, store, billing and collection)
IV. Harvesting > 4 years after the start

It needs three to tango
1. An enabling governance is required for utilities 1. Autonomous operations (minimize political interference)
2. Give full responsibility and demand for transparency
3. Performance management (regulation or benchmarking)
2. NRW reduction start within the organisation, not in the field
1. Corporate strategy and culture to be set (incl. LTIP)
2. Leadership & management competencies (MD program)
3. Organisational structure: decentralised caretakers
4. Process orientation: Plan Do Check Act !
3. Commitment & competencies of human capital • What is in it for me ? ( performance assessment) and incentives)
• Capacity development (training, coaching, exposure, internships, exchange)

Leadership at management level
It is easy to live after the world's opinion;
it is easy in solitude to live after your own;
but the great man is he who, in the midst of the crowd
keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude

Resumé
• NRW is a good indicator for the internal organisational strenght of a water utility
• NRW reduction therefore needs to be internalised within the utility (good examples were presented yesterday from various locations)
• Partnerships can only be instrumental in NRW reduction if an enabling governance environment and organisational setting is in place to fully take on board the various CD interactions and interventions

The three partners for a tango
• A governance system that encourages performance management of water utilities (regulation/benchmarking) is quite instrumental for NRW reduction programmes
• Transformation of the corporate strategy, its culture, and organisational structure towards integrated NRW reduction needs skills and competences that not all water utility managers have inherited by birth
• Within these change processes the human factor needs more attention to mobilise capacity and keep spirit up high. This will ensure their full cooperation and commitment towards NRW reduction
all the above needs skills expertise, and competences that may go beyond a classical well qualified and competent engineer !

NRW is as Romano Prodi once said:
“the closer you get to it • the more difficult and dangerous it gets“
