Deficiencies in the availability of water resources are a barrier to urban development. Due to the progressive climate changes, water stress occurs not only in arid and semi-arid areas, but also in some regions of Central Europe. As rivers are common water sources for water supply
systems, in many locations the amount of water taken in began threatening the biological life in rivers. The protection of these sources has now entered a new phase – it is not only required to preserve the adequate quality of water, but also its quantity. One of the first steps in protecting water sources involves increasing the efficiency of water usage in water supply systems. Firstly, the efficiency of water use can be increased by limiting the water losses from a water distribution network (WDN). It is a complex task, which should be solved shortly after its occurrence. A proper detection system is key to successfully limiting the water losses. The aim of this paper was to present a case study of the exemplary leakages detection by the
application of such advanced tool. As it was proven, even partial reduction of water leakages from WDN can result in the protection of local water resources
