AB  - Purpose– To provide water utilities operating under rationing conditions with some insight into issues related to managing non‐revenue water (NRW).Design/methodology/approach– Reviews general theories associated with pressure, surges and water leakage, and compares them with real data in a rationed water distribution system.Findings– In water networks there is a strong relationship between rationing hours and rationing surge pressures and NRW levels. These relationships mean that traditional ways of benchmarking NRW are not useful in rationed systems.Originality/value– This paper identifies key NRW issues for utilities operating under rationing and gives them help in identifying options for their NRW strategies.
