The source indicates that water loss is the non-refundable amount of water, and losses of water are divided into:
A. Commercial (meter readings and calculations, stealth links, loss of internal
connections).
B. Natural (leakage of pipes).
Loss of water was calculated using the following formula:
((100 - (quantity of water sold/quantity of water produced)=% ).
The source indicates that the total amount of water consumed is not related to the total quantities of water consumed in the governorates, but depends on the percentage of total loss and the accounts of Holding Company for Water and Sewage.
