Miljøvennlige koblinger for sikker og lekkasjefri distribusjon av drikkevann

Lekkasjer fra distribusjonssystem for drikkevann utgjør et stort samfunnsproblem. I store deler av verden, inklusiv Norge, går omtrent halvparten av drikkevannet tapt på grunn av lekkasjer, noe som representerer en gedigen sløsing med vann som resurs og e nergi brukt til distribusjon. Lekkasjer r...
