Water Audit Of Kcaet Campus

Water audit aims to counter the depleting water resources and ill usage of water by identification of the problems, leak points, losses, wastage and giving suggestions to minimize the same. For this purpose water meters were installed at different locations. Water meter indicates the measured value of water usage at that particular location. At the same time estimated value of water usage is calculated by using the standards specified by WHO. A comparison of the measured and estimated values was done to get the losses. The results depicted a bulk of water wasted by leaks or real losses and over usage of water at most of the distribution points. Methods like inspection, replacement and repairs of corroded pipes and ill fittings were suggested. Generating awareness to limit wastage of water at households and hostels were also suggested.
