Mastering Water Meter Flow Rates (Q1-Q4) and R-Ratio: A Guide for Efficient Water Utility Management
Water utilities are tasked with balancing resource conservation, financial sustainability, and customer trust. At the heart of this challenge lies a technical yet critical aspect of water metering: understanding the water meter flow rates (Q1-Q4) and the R-ratio (Q3/Q1). These metrics define a meter’s accuracy, range, and reliability—directly impacting revenue, leak detection, and infrastructure planning.
Understand NRW and Reduce Water Losses with ThingsLog IoT Data Loggers
Non-Revenue Water (NRW) represents a significant challenge for water utilities worldwide. NRW refers to the water that has been produced but is lost before it reaches the customer due to leaks, theft, or metering inaccuracies. Effective monitoring and management of NRW is critical for both financial sustainability and resource conservation. This is where innovative solutions […]
