AADC Water Network Management and Leakage Control Synopsis 1
Al Ain Distribution Company. Formed (from the Water and Electricity Department) in 1999 as a wholly owned subsidiary of the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority (ADWEA). Responsible for the distribution of water and electricity in the city of Al Ain and the Eastern Region of Abu Dhabi Emirate. We serve a population of just below 500,000. Demand growth rate 5 to 8% per year. Forecast likely to rise over future years. Al Ain can be characterised as: Low rise, Wide area, High percentage residential, Small percentage rural and industrial. 2

Central Process Control Centre Concept & Functionality We will build a centrally controlled network management system that will allow: Monitoring of each Litre of water received at our network. Monitoring of pressure and quality delivered. Allow us to quickly identify where any losses are occurring. Provide accurate, historical data on demand and consumption. Facilitate the planning of network expansion and modification. Permit accurate demand projections Provide a basis for asset maintenance and replacement planning. 8

What is Next Tasks Ahead Improve Customer metering. Better assessment of Customer Night Consumption (NLM). Establish relation between average DMA pressure and leakage flow. Optimize for pressure management using hydraulic modeling. Integration of all Stand alone system like GIS, Maximo etc.,with Holistic Management system Implementation of Security of Supply and Risk Assessment Construction of Centralised Process Control Centre and its implementation. 10
