Climate solution
Safe drinking water
Pressure management and active leakage control could reduce water losses by 36–46 percent and carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 0.61–0.86 gigatons. Total installation cost would be US$7.87–10.96 billion, and operating savings for utilities could be US$1.02–1.45 trillion. Implementing this solution could save 311,940–389,126 million cubic meters of water over 30 years.
