PART 4: APPENDIX 1: THE WATER CYCLE AND WATER SERVICES<br />

Distribution losses for municipal provision can realistically be reduced to 20%, releasing 74 km³<br />

pa for productive use. Assuming that industrial leakage can be reduced to 10%, this releases<br />

120 km³ pa for productive use. Improving irrigation efficiency to 50% releases 244 km³ pa for<br />

productive use, along with a further 325 km³ pa of treated municipal water (50% treatment) and<br />

industrial water (25% treatment).<br />
