NRW management is the structured process of reducing non-revenue water by connecting measurement, analysis, investigation, and follow-up. Non-revenue water (NRW) is a complex challenge for water utilities. Water losses may be associated with physical leakage, inaccurate measurement, unauthorized consumption, or weaknesses in data and operational processes. Installing meters or collecting
DMA water balance compares measured inflow into a District Metered Area (DMA) with the water accounted for through authorized consumption and other recognized uses within the zone. Water utilities need to understand not only how much water enters a distribution network, but also how much is accounted for through authorized
GIS for water network management connects asset information with geographic locations, helping utilities see where pipes, valves, meters, and DMA boundaries are—and how they relate to monitoring data. Water distribution networks can extend across large urban areas, with underground pipes, valves, meters, and other assets spread across complex systems. When
Minimum night flow (MNF) is the lowest measured flow during a defined nighttime period in a monitored area, such as a District Metered Area (DMA). Water demand usually changes throughout the day, and in many distribution networks consumption falls during nighttime hours. This makes nighttime flow an important indicator for
Water utilities often monitor how much water enters a distribution network. But flow data alone may not explain why water losses occur or where an investigation should begin. Water pressure provides another important piece of the picture. How Does Pressure Affect a Water Distribution Network? Pressure changes throughout a water
For water utilities, reducing non-revenue water (NRW) requires more than installing accurate meters. Utilities also need reliable information about how water enters and moves through the distribution network. Bulk water metering can provide important flow data at key points in a water supply system. When used alongside district metered areas
Water utilities are increasingly looking for ways to improve meter reading, access consumption data, and identify potential problems earlier. Two common terms in smart metering projects are AMR and AMI. Although both help automate water meter data collection, they can differ in communication capabilities, system architecture, and the way utilities
Small-diameter water meters are commonly considered for residential, commercial, and other applications where water consumption needs to be measured at individual connections or smaller service lines. When evaluating a small-diameter ultrasonic water meter, buyers should look beyond the nominal diameter. The right choice depends on the expected flow profile, installation

How Does an Ultrasonic Water Meter Work? Water utilities need reliable measurement data to manage consumption, monitor distribution networks, and make informed operational decisions. Ultrasonic water meters offer an electronic approach to flow measurement without the moving measuring parts found in many traditional mechanical meters. But how does an ultrasonic
For water utilities, producing and distributing water is only part of the challenge. The next question is: How much of that water actually reaches customers and becomes authorized consumption? Water lost between production and consumption is a major concern for utilities around the world. This is where non-revenue water (NRW)
As water utilities move toward digital transformation, traditional manual meter reading is gradually being replaced by automated data collection. Two terms frequently appear in smart water metering projects: AMR and AMI. They are closely related, but they represent different levels of metering infrastructure. Understanding the difference can help water utilities,
Choosing the right water meter manufacturer can have a major impact on the success of a water metering project. For distributors, water utilities, EPC companies, system integrators, and government procurement teams, the decision is rarely just about unit price. A reliable supplier needs to provide more than a water meter.
For water utilities, selecting a water meter is not simply a matter of choosing a product with the right pipe size. A metering project needs to consider measurement performance, operating conditions, communication, installation, maintenance, data management, and future expansion. This becomes especially important when utilities are moving from traditional meter
Water utilities, distributors, and system integrators are increasingly looking for more accurate and connected ways to measure water consumption. As water networks become more digital, the traditional water meter is evolving from a simple measuring device into an important source of operational data. One technology receiving growing attention is the
Tengyue Metering at ANDESCO Colombia 2026: Connecting with the Water Industry Tengyue Metering successfully participated in ANDESCO Colombia 2026, held from September 23–25 in Colombia. During the three-day exhibition, the Tengyue team welcomed water utility professionals, industry partners, and visitors at Booth C01, creating opportunities to exchange ideas on water
A water meter has traditionally had one primary job: measure how much water passes through a pipeline. But water management is becoming increasingly data-driven. For utilities, property managers, and commercial water operators, knowing the total consumption is useful. Knowing when water is being consumed, how flow conditions are changing, and
For water meter distributors, importers, wholesalers, and commercial water management companies, selecting an ultrasonic water meter supplier is an important business decision. The right supplier should provide more than a product catalogue. Product configuration, communication options, installation flexibility, technical documentation, and project compatibility can all influence whether a water meter
For water utilities and municipal water companies, accurate water measurement is the foundation of effective water management. However, accurate measurement is no longer the only requirement. Utilities also need reliable data collection, remote meter reading, abnormal flow detection, and flexible integration with smart water management systems. As water networks become
