NRW component in water supply schemes which marked as more than 50% in some areas has to be minimized. If it is possible to save the NRW component, at least for certain extent, the present coverage could be expanded without constructing new water supply schemes which saves huge capital to the nation.” This gives us such an impression, the effort delivered to minimize the wastage while adopting appropriate specifications during the processes defined is extremely important in the present context.
