THE INTERNATIONAL BENCHMARKING NETWORK FOR
& SANITATION
UTILITIES
Access and contribute to the world's largest database for water and sanitation utilities performance data.
New IBNET provides data-based services that allow water and sanitation utilities to make informed decisions on operations, and service delivery.
“Gathering data and comparing them on a really global level is a great way to learn”, commented Fjolla Lasku of the Gjakova WWT Plant in Kosovo, watching the crowd in the reception area of the world´s most important sector meeting, the IAW Water Congress 2024 in Toronto, Canada.
As we progress through 2025, NewIBNET is excited to announce that 2024 Data Entry for Performance Benchmarking is now open! With several new features rolled out over the past months, your benchmarking experience is now more powerful than ever— thanks to your valuable feedback.
The role of metering in water utilities is rapidly evolving with the integration of digital tools that enhance efficiency, reduce non-revenue water (NRW), and improve customer service. At the recent Water Round Tables (WRT) event, Frederick Swai from CollectTech shared his expertise on how technology-driven solutions are transforming utility management.
