by with No Comment novosti

At the invitation of the organizer of the company NMAqua Banja Luka participated in the First Professional Conference in Bosnia and Herzegovina "Water loss in water supply systems", which was held on September 19 and 20 in Sarajevo.

According to the organizers, the aim of the Conference is to create an environment in which, first of all, workers of water supply companies (from leak detection workers to company directors) from Bosnia and Herzegovina will have the opportunity to regularly improve their knowledge and exchange experiences in the domain of water loss control ( leak detection, measurement, pressure regulation, zoning, SCADA and remote monitoring, water meter inaccuracy, GIS, digitization, methodologies, technologies, etc.).

The gathering was also an opportunity for participants from private companies to present new technologies and services from this domain and to, in a concrete and direct conversation with representatives of water companies, assess the needs and present their possibilities as part of future cooperation.

At the Conference, it was announced that the "Initiative for the establishment of a financing program for the reduction of losses in water supply systems in Bosnia and Herzegovina", which is through the Sponsor of the conference (Association/association of enterprises/enterprises of the communal economy/economy in the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the Association "Vodovodi Republika Srpska ") submitted to the State Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations.

A s an exhibitor at this Conference, the NMAqua team presented its scope of work, offer and opportunities, as well as realized projects during twenty-five years of work experience, through promotional material. During the conference, we had a series of conversations with representatives of water supply companies who expressed interest and the need for cooperation, in order to achieve greater efficiency and good results in reducing non-revenue water in their companies during their activities. We have agreed on a series of activities that we can provide as a service, and we will try to implement this in the coming period as part of project tasks or projects.

In conversation with the expert team

Based on the impressions of around 180 participants as well as 15 exhibitors from Bosnia Herzegovina, Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia, the conference met all expectations and was rated as meaningful and useful, and the organizers announced it for the next year in 2025.

Gradiška project - reduction of non-revenue water

by with No Comment novosti

In business talks in late 2018 between the management of NMAqua s.p. Banja Luka and the Institute for Water Management d.o.o. Bijeljina, an agreement in principle was concluded on participation in the realization of the Study "Development of a mathematical model of the water supply and sewerage system of Gradiška with a plan for their development". The main tasks of this project for our team was to perform measurements of flow, pressure, and after the results obtained analysis and in agreement with the Institute to develop a plan of further activities. For each completed task, in principle, a Technical Report on measurements with key observations is made, which will be an integral part of the Main Report upon completion of the Project.

Signing of the agreement

After that, the Contract for measurements on the water supply and sewerage system of Gradiška was signed with a period of seven months until the completion of measurements, testing and preparation of Technical Reports.

At the beginning, initial flow measurements were performed - balancing the quantities at the water source, ie controlling the capacity of well pumps at five wells, as well as the amount of water at the outlet of the water tower. After the obtained results of measurements and analyzes, a plan of further activities was made. It consisted of measuring the flow, ie the input of the amount of water in all formed DMA zones on the Gradiška water supply system.

Measurements of flow, pressure, noise loggers

In addition to measuring the flow, pressures were continuously measured, both in the area of the City and at all pumping stations, and at the same time at the beginning of 2019, measurements were made at the sewer outlet into the Sava River.

After preliminary measurements, field control of the network with forest loggers was performed, as well as day and night surveys of the water supply network. As part of that, a night check of the flow on transport and pipelines was performed, which, based on the measurement results, showed a significant deviation of the flow quantities from the real consumption.

Support

In the research of losses on the water supply network, we wholeheartedly received the support of the management of KP Vodovod Gradiška who spent a good part of their time with us in the field, as well as our main consultants, and were ready to actively participate in the implementation of commitments.

In addition to the results already achieved, which are significant in finding invisible losses, in the coming period until the end of the project we expect to significantly reduce losses in the water supply network in Gradiška.
