dc.description.abstractThis Final Year Research and Design Project addresses the global challenge of non-revenue Water (NRW) with a specific focus on the issue of illegal water connections in Mpoma Village, Mukono District, Uganda. NRW refers to water generated by utilities but not billed to clients, with illegal connections being a major contributor. The study emphasizes the economic and environmental implications of commercial losses, i.e., meter inaccuracies and illegal connections, and aims to fill this crucial knowledge gap by proposing practical strategies and methodologies for combating commercial losses within the broader context of NRW management. The research advocates for the implementation of sensor-based technologies for real-time monitoring of water distribution systems. This approach seeks to detect illegal connections promptly and accurately, thereby improving financial stability, responsible water resource management, and equitable water distribution. The research methodology includes a comprehensive assessment of water distribution infrastructure, prioritizing areas with low NRW values, and implementing an effective leak detection program. A data management system, supported by the development of a hydraulic model using EPANET and simulation software, will monitor consumption and detect abnormalities within the distribution system
