:Slovak term: [[Slovenský termín]]
# A device used to measure the amount of water used by a house (WHO and IRC 2003).
# A mechanical or electronic device used to measure the volume of water supplied to a consumer (World Plumbing Council Working Group 2008)

==Explanation==
Water meters provide the means to charge fees according to the volume of water
delivered, and to influence water use via tariffs. Water meters consist of a device to
measure flow, and a protective housing with an inlet and an outlet. A strainer over the inlet
keeps larger particles out of the system. There are many types of water meter, but for
ordinary domestic or public standpipe use, turbine meters are most common(WHO and IRC
2003).

A domestic water meter is usually fitted at the property boundary to measure the volume of
water used. The meter data enables the water used to be charged on a user pay basis. The
cost of water is one strategy to reduce water use. The efficient water use will reduce the
overall supply demand.

A meter may also be installed within a property to measure specific water use, for example,
the hot water use within a building, or water used in an industrial process (World Plumbing
Council Working Group 2008).

==Example==
A domestic water meters will increase in use as the true value of water is realised. They are
commonly installed by the water supplier and located at the property boundary. Meters can
produce data for both total community water usage, and or individual per head usage
patterns.

The new smart water meter technologies enable water suppliers and consumers to access
real time data on water and energy consumption within a building via remote sensing
technology.

The water measured by a meter is critical for managing a sustainable water supply:
* Data will measure supply and demand loads of water systems.
* It will enable a supplier to plan for the efficient use of water.
* It will measure the water footprint of a building owner/occupier, or an industrial process.
* Data collected can be used to reduce water wastage and infrastructure costs (Victorian Women’s Trust 2007).
