Abstract
The paper refers different ways of handling this scope in European countries and in North America. The use of statistical methods for estimating existing and future rehabilitation needs and the use of software tools for prioritizing actions are discussed. Current development on technologies for detecting leaks and for measuring pipe wall thinning is commented. It is argued that there is still a knowledge gap, and that joint international research could be a way to improve the knowledge, create new technologies and improve the water network management.
