Securing Future by Saving Energy Cost in Water Supply

摘要

Energy has become very scarce commodity all over world and production cost is also increasing day-by-day. Energy cost is one of the largest operating expenses for water supply service providers. Hence need for using energy efficient pumps, motors, pumping system and efforts in conservation of energy cannot be over emphasized. All possible measures need to be identified and adopted to reduce energy cost so as to lower the water tariff. Using energy efficient equipment and limiting physical losses to reduce energy cost will be the efficient way of addressing this issue. Convenient access to the water supply source, efficiency of water supply operation, reliability, sustainability and affordability of the water supply service are most important factors in water supply projects. Managing demand and maintaining cost while pricing the water are two main objectives shall have to be pursued by service providers. So even a small saving in energy cost is welcome to keep the price of water to low level.
