Greater accuracy in the measurement of water flow and consumption significantly improves analytic capacity and lays the groundwork for practical water conservation action, from locating and addressing leaks to consumer behavior modification.
The initial incentive to measure flow was the need to charge consumers and this led to the early development of positive displacement and inferential type flowmeters. Commercial designs of water meters can be traced back to about 1820.

A water meter which has been in op-eration for 3,000 years, in the Oases Gadames in North Africa, divides into equal parts the quantity of water served from the spring to the inhabitants of the farms. The procedure is as follows : A man pulls a pot of water on a cord from the spring ground. The pot has a hole, from which the water runs out again, a
