Northeastern Brazil, with a population of over 57 million, is the second region experiencing the largest losses in its distribution systems, wasting almost 50% of drinking water. This situation is all the more alarming since almost 35 million Brazilians do not have access to this resource.
The Bahia Water and Sanitation Company (EMBASA) has launched an operational audit to optimise and reduce water losses in three operational areas of Salvador, equivalent to over 700,000 customers and over 1,500 kilometres of distribution network.
Our expertise
Seureca is assisting EMBASA with:
- evaluating the preliminary data and conducting an operational audit of the water distribution system, including updating the customer register and network maps;
- specific assessment of losses and water demand;
- hydraulic modelling of three areas, with the definition of all zonal boundaries;
- public works implementation projects and technical, economic, and financial feasibility to improve and expand the supply system with a prioritised action plan;
- theoretical and practical training on water loss management and technological transfer.
