“…Since, the network renewal involves the replacement of pipes and creates more cost than other methods, the current failure rates, operation, the costs of maintenance and repair, new resource, energy and initial investment and operating should be considered and analyzed (Al-Zahrani, Abo-Monasar, & Sadiq, 2016;Venkatesh, 2012;Mondaca, Andrade, Choi, & Lansey, 2015;Francisque et al, 2017;Cavaliere, Maggi, & Stroffolini, 2017). The useful life focuses on situations where leaks cannot be managed economically through failure repair, PM and other methods.…”

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.

“…In relation to activities to control and reduce real losses, rehabilitation of pipes is one of the most 562 important factors influencing the water industry worldwide (Cavaliere et al, 2017). In this research, 563 a prioritized rehabilitation of the pipes with the most unfavourable operational conditions (pressure, 564 diameter, damage records, material and age) was proposed.…”

“…Similar policies were promoted by the World Bank also in Latin America. Cavaliere and others [23] analyzed optimal investments to reduce water losses in a regulated water industry with perfectly inelastic demand and private information about local investment efficiency. The theoretical analysis, supported by a calibration and simulation exercise, demonstrated that the incentive to invest is affected by ownership, financial structure and revenue cap.…”

Water losses are in focus of water supply management in last decades. Basic and widely accepted indicator is ILI Index, but is insufficient, when water resources are abundant, treatment costs low and energy consumption miniscule due to gravity. In such situation several authors introduced more detailed analysis defining "Economic Level of Leakage" (ELL) in short run. This analysis provides an insight into shadow market of leakages that is defined by marginal cost of water supplied on supply side and by marginal cost of repairs to mitigate water loss on demand side and provide empirical example based on real water supply system (WSS) data.
