The importance is on freshwater assets since it is freshwater resources that are used for daily usage, agricultural and industrial intentions. According to Hu (2006), freshwater represents about 2.76 % of the total water available on earth. And even with this, it is only less than 1 % which is readily available to be accessed and used by human. About 20 % of the world’s population lack access to safe drinking water and about eighty countries, which inhabitat 40 % of the world’s population are in severe water crisis situation. Non-revenue water (NRW) can be defined as the amount or quantity of lost water starting from the water treatment plant to the consumers.
