PROWAT PLANNING AND IMPLEMENTING A NON-REVENUE WATER REDUCTION STRATEGY IMPROVES THE PERFORMANCE OF WATER SUPPLY AND DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS NRW is a large common problem around the world Definition of NRW – Non-Revenue Water : “The difference between the volume of water put into the distribution system and the volume of water billed to the customers”

PROWAT Project is funded from European Commission and Turkish National Agency.. It is a project running under the programme : “EUROPEAN UNION LIFE LONG LEARNING LEONARDO DA VINCI PROJECTS” Turkish National Agency : European Commission : Leonardo da Vinci :

The aim of Leonardo da Vinci programme is to promote: –The innovation, –European dimension, –Transferability, –Quality with analysing and solving problems for the vocational training systems. –The adaptation of professional innovations in life-long learning training. Project no:TR/06/B/F/PP/178065

PROWAT Project’s –Duration is: 01st February 2007 – 01st March 2009 –Priority is to develop the quality of Vocational Education & Training systems and practices in Water Management. Project no:TR/06/B/F/PP/178065
