• Water balance in general form is the deference between
produced water and the authorized consumption which have a
returned value.

 The Egyptian water production is within 21 Million m3 daily.
 In Egypt we have a percentage of water loses within 30%.
 In Egypt we lose (6 – 8) Million m3 daily.
 International percentage allowances of water loses within

Installation of production meters and replacement of failed
consumer meters:
A. Installation of meters on water production locations in water treatment
plants to measure produced water (Surface water and groundwater).
B. Review all meters installed on consumer connections as follows:
• Replace non working meters.
• Install new meters for non metered properties.
• Ensure renewal of calibration license for working meters.
Installation of District Meter Areas:
A. Apply DMAs to control water amount in inflow and outflow of
distribution system.
B. Install bulk meters in DMAs to measure inflow and outflow of each
district.
Installation of raw water meters

 EWRA following-up leak detection system with companies in
order to minimize water lost through leakage.
 EWRA choosed Company was Cairo Water Company
Separate department for leak detection system
All required equipment
Longest network.
Oldest network.
 the total repairs done saved about 6,935,000 m3.
