Why We’re Losing 126 Billion Cubic Metres of Water a Year – and How to Stop It

SEGi University recently hosted an insightful session on non-revenue water (NRW) reduction and smart metering technologies, highlighting its ongoing commitment to sustainability, engineering excellence, and industry relevance.
