Current practice in rehabilitating old pipes for water distribution network in Malaysia

The water distribution network (WDN) is critical in daily life because it provides treated water to consumers. However, WDN in Malaysia is facing a significant amount of water loss during the water distribution process (i.e., non-revenue water (NRW) with an average percentage of 35.6%. While one of...
