Key Points

  • The sentence is grammatically wrong for two reasons:
    • 'Due to' is the correct adjective. In the sentence 'due' is missing.
    • An adjective is followed by a noun, not a verb.
    • Noun for leaking is 'leakage'.
    • Leaking should be replaced by leakage.
       

Thus the correct sentence is: Twenty to thirty per cent of the world’s urban water supply is lost due to leakage each year.
