Remote Leak Detection through Hydraulic Modeling
Project Summary
Project
Maynilad, the Philippines’ water service company for western Manila, needed to improve
service levels in a district metered area of Tinajeros in Malabon City. This area, which
had long been tagged as a problem area, serves 2,183 water service connections to
primarily residential customers. Despite two inflows with high pressure, network piping
couldn’t deliver enough water or pressure to meet customer demands. Maynilad needed
to identify leaks and head losses throughout the piping network. Various approaches to
identify them had failed, so they needed to take a fresh approach.

Solution
Maynilad deployed WaterGEMS software to build a hydraulic model of the area and
calibrate it according to the existing condition of the network. The model showed
management where leaks would most likely be located throughout the piping network,
saving the maintenance and repair team a great deal of time and effort – and enabling
them to focus on repairs that will significantly improve customer service levels.

Outcome
Using WaterGEMS, the calibration and simulation of the water model to identify
hotspots, or probable leak locations, took just three days – and when staff investigated,
they found that the entire 6 linear meter area of the 200-millimeter pipe was busted
longitudinally, causing the huge pressure drop. Once repaired, pressures significantly
improved, eliminating need for an immediate, costly and time-consuming total pipe
replacement. The leak repair cost just USD 1,160, mitigated the costly alternatives. This
success resulted in new best practice: using a calibrated hydraulic model to find hard-to-
detect leaks in areas with very deep pipelines.

Software
The Darwin Calibrator feature of WaterGEMS played a key role in identifying potential
locations of leakages in the water model. This made leak detection easier and enabled
staff to prioritize locations for further, on-site investigation.

Minister visits pilot rain water harvesting project…!!!
The delegation group lead by minister, Ministry of Water and Energy (MoWE) of Ethiopia H.E. Dr.
Engineer Habtamu Itefa visiting pilot rain water harvesting project done by Ethiopian Water
Technology Institute (EWTI).
The mission was undertaken to learn of the experience of the ambitious water-harvesting program,
under the direction of the Ministry of Water and Energy, which is a key element of the government's
programs to increase food security of rural populations country-wide.
The first advantage of water harvesting is aim to reduce poverty and increase food security on a
massive scale by making water available to irrigate and produce higher value crops and provide
water for livestock. A secondary, but equally important benefit, is the provision of water for
household use, greatly decreasing the work involved in fetching water, further increasing time that
household members can devote to productive means.
"The monsoons have come. Let us once again focus on water conservation. The rainwater gets
collected on the ground, it increases the groundwater level, and that is why I believe water
conservation is a way of service to the nation," said Dr. Engineer Habtamu while addressing his
message for the audience.
It is hoped that the lessons from the current pilot government program, some of which were noted in
their discussion, will help to provide guidance for donors to direct assistance to improve upon and
enhance current approaches to rain water-harvesting.
The Institute Director General Dr. Tamene Hailu said there are lots of people around Ethiopia who
do the good deed of water conservation as their duty and using rain water harvesting as their source
of income. EWTI in collaboration with MoWE and other relevant stakeholders are doing their own
best for the establishment of pilot rainwater harvesting scheme in EWTI.
The technology is simple and entails to use of either underground concrete lined tanks or clay or
plastic-lined surface ponds, to allow water retention. Both the underground tanks and surface ponds
collect runoff from rainfall and/or from roofs of houses. The rural population with instruction and
designs provided by trained extension workers can do all of the required construction.
