BetaBetaDataset
To provide data on the average percentage of non-revenue water (NRW) for various countries in 2021. Non-revenue water is the water that is produced but not billed to consumers due to losses from leaks, theft, or unmetered connections.
Understanding the percentage of non-revenue water is crucial for water utilities and policymakers to identify and address inefficiencies in water distribution systems. High levels of NRW indicate significant water losses that can affect the sustainability of water resources and financial stability of water utilities.
The dataset includes information on the percentage of non-revenue water for the largest suppliers in various countries. It helps to understand the efficiency of water distribution systems and the extent of water losses in different regions.
Data is collected and reported by national authorities and compiled by the WHO GLASS (Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water) initiative. The data reflects the percentage of water that is lost before it reaches consumers.
