-Pressure control, equipment, leakage reduction-
Pressure management plays a crucial role in reducing water losses and improving the efficiency of distribution networks. When designed and maintained properly, it offers numerous benefits with minimal, if any, disadvantages. As the foundation for effective leakage management, controlling pressure—especially during off-peak periods—can significantly reduce losses without the immediate need for leak detection or repairs. Once excessive pressures are addressed, additional measures such as pipe repairs and system retrofitting can be implemented for long-term network sustainability
