Basics of Pressure Management in Municipal Water Distribution Systems - Ronnie Mckenzie

The presentation will cover the basics of pressure management in Municipal Water Distribution Systems as well as explain the use of some aspects of advanced pressure control. A number of real case studies will be presented where pressure management was implemented resulting in very significant savings. The case studies will highlight some of the practical issues that should be considered when looking into the possible application of pressure management and when there is scope for some form of advanced control.

It's easy to measure water flow in certain time intervals by fixing loggers.

Basically air blocks can be released by flushing fire hydrants.

How is the critical point determined?

[@iwawaterlossspecialistgroup]

Normally a pressure survey is done at high elevation and end points of the network, to determine which has the lowest pressure. This would be the network critical point.
