Changes to the operation of the Leakssuite Library Website – November 2022

For the past decade, when Open Access to water loss material was not generally available, the Leakssuite and Leakssuite Library websites have provided free-to-all access to research, presentations and academic papers to some forty thousand users from 193 countries, with over 200,000 downloads. Operated on a ‘pro-bono’ basis, and supported by kind donations from several international sponsors to ILMSS Ltd and latterly Leakssuite Library Ltd, this remains an important historical resource of keynote material for water loss students, practitioners and professionals.

As a natural process following his retirement in July 2021, Allan Lambert has stepped down as a Director of Leakssuite Library Ltd and from the running of the Leakssuite Library website and content this autumn. To secure the operation and funding of the Leakssuite Library website for the next few years, Allan has decided that the most logical “safe pair of hands” should be Water Loss Research and Analysis Ltd (WLR&A Ltd).

Therefore, from 1st November 2022, WLR&A Ltd has committed to keep the Leakssuite Library website running for at least the next 3 years and will seek to refresh its content on a regular basis. WLR&A will continue to  publish and update, free to all, interesting articles and innovative research, such as the System Correction Factor for customising UARL for small systems and low/high pressures, for the benefit of the worldwide water loss community professionals, accessible from both www.leakssuite.com and www.leakssuitelibrary.com.
