Summary/Abstract: The metric of non-revenue water provides insights into the extent of water lost in the network, representing the variance between water produced and water sold. This delves into an analysis of 35 water supply companies in the Republic of Croatia, collectively responsible for pumping approximately 95% of the total water supply. The sample encompasses all large and medium-sized companies out of a total of 147 (categorized as large, medium, small, and micro) according to FINA categorization, aligned with the Accounting Act (Official Gazette 78/2015). Data for the analysis was sourced from secondary data sources, covering the period from 2011 to 2018. This comprehensive exploration seeks to unveil the intricate dynamics of business management strategies employed by water supply companies in Croatia and their direct impact on water loss reduction, thereby contributing to the sustainability of water supply systems.
