Northeastern Brazil, with a population of over 57 million, is the second region experiencing the largest losses in its distribution systems, wasting almost 50% of drinking water. This situation is all the more alarming since almost 35 million Brazilians do not have access to this resource.

The Bahia Water and Sanitation Company (EMBASA) has launched **an operational audit to optimise and reduce water losses** in three operational areas of Salvador, equivalent to over 700,000 customers and over 1,500 kilometres of distribution network.
