Volume 2: Best Practices for Field Operators
Volume 2 is designed for technical personnel, operators, and field staff involved in the day-to-day management of water networks. This volume provides practical, hands-on guidance for reducing physical losses through methods like leak detection, meter maintenance, pipeline pressure testing, and the use of equipment such as ultrasonic flow meters and pressure data loggers. The manual also outlines the proper procedures for pipe laying, trench backfilling, and service connection installations, ensuring that all operations follow best practices to minimize losses.
Together, these two volumes form a comprehensive roadmap for reducing NRW in Kenya, contributing to the sustainability of water services and the progressive realization of the right to water and sanitation as outlined in the Constitution of Kenya, 2010.
