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. The talk, delivered by regional water technology expert Ir. Kho Tuck Sing, captivated students and professionals alike with a deep dive into one of the world’s most pressing water challenges.

Globally, utilities lose an estimated 126 billion cubic metres of water annually—water that has been treated and distributed, but never reaches consumers. These losses equate to a staggering USD 39 billion in financial impact every year, according to the World Bank. The session emphasised how tackling NRW is not only a cost-saving necessity but a moral imperative in the face of global water scarcity.
