Notes:
During the UK ‘national leakage control initiative’, which was carried out in 1991–94, Welsh Water formulated a conceptual model of leakage management which was intended for international application.This paper explains how the concepts of ‘bursts and background estimates’(BABE) have been calibrated and extended to cover financial/economic analysis and pressure management, using specialist software for practical application and following the methodologies in the recent water industry ‘Managing Leakage’reports. Examples of applications of BABE software and concepts, in the UK and internationally, are also described.
