3.5 Unavoidable Annual Real Losses (UARL)

3.5.1 Inputs

For each DMA:

  • Length of mains, LM
  • Number of service connections Nc,
  • Length of service pipes Lp
  • Average zonal pressure, Pz

3.5.2 Units

  • Input, Length of mains, Lm: km
  • Input, Nc: [-]
  • Input, Lp: km
  • Input, Pz: mWc
  • Output: L/s

3.5.3 Formulas

  • \(UARL=(18*L_{m}+0.8*N_{C}+25*L_{P})*P_{Z} )/86400\)

3.5.4 Aggregations over regional zones

  • No, sum if based on MNF
  • Sum, if based on ANF
