Water scarcity affects 10% of the Europeans, causing an estimated €100 billion to the EU in damages and lost economic potential. Around 10-40% of Europe’s available water is being wasted because of leakages in the supply system, lack of water-saving technologies, etc. For instance, in 2015, cities and communities in Cyprus lost due to leakages more than 20-30% of their water due to leakages, which corresponds to more than €10 million losses. Besides financial losses, leakages can escalate to pipe breaks (causing disruption of operation), water quality degradation problems (affecting the well-being of the society), increased energy usage and associated greenhouse gas emissions (affecting climate-change). Reducing the losses by 5-10% would have a significant and direct financial impact to utilities.
