Abstract
ABSTRACT. Methods
and tools used to reduce leakage in distribution systems are often time
consuming and costly and require special requirements. Therefore, cost-benefit
analysis is very important for basic reduction methods applied in water loss
management. In this study, cost and benefit analysis standards were developed
for basic methods such as pressure management, number of teams, and pipe
rehabilitation and active leakage control, in managing leakages. Moreover, a
new cost algorithmic structure was developed and the economically recoverable
water amount was determined by applying calculation tool developed to make
detailed analyzes systematically and accurately. The most important advantage
of this study is the development of an economic analysis model and algorithmic
structure for basic reduction methods according to field data. It is thought
that the cost analysis and algorithmic structures developed will make a
significant contribution to the economic leakage level analysis and serve as a
reference for sustainable water loss management.
