| Summary: | In the paper the analysis of water network functioning on the basis of water losses occurring in the exemplary water supply system is presented. Using the received operational data the balance of water production was shown, the individual water consumption was calculated, the basic indicators of water losses and the indicators of network hydraulic load were established, which referred to the values recommended, among others, by the American Water Works Association. On the basis of these indicators, the assessment of the state of tested water supply system was performed. The unitary volume indicators related to water losses are at the constant level. The unitary indicator of water losses for the years 2007-2015, on average, amounted to approx. 108 dm3·inh-1·d-1, the unitary indicator of water supplied into network takes values from 459,1 dm3 ·inh-1·d-1 in 2007 to 402.9 dm3·inh-1·d-1 in 2015, which means the decrease of approx. 12%. The unitary indicator of sold water is in the range from 288,9 to 419,5 dm3 ·inh-1·d-1. The infrastructure leakage index ILI, according to the criteria of World Bank Institute Banding System for developing countries, estimates the state of water supply system as good. The value of the ILI index for the analysed water supply system corresponds to national trends, which range from 3,13 to 16,52 [3, 8]. |
