(in lingua inglese)
Coupling the DMA design with the existing water flow remote measurement system will provide the following benefits:
- remarkably reducing water losses;
- reducing the number of maintenance operations, after reducing the operating pressure of the system;
- easy finding the most vulnerable areas of the network;
- making quick maintenance and repair in the network.
Obviously, results of numerical simulations are only preliminary, and should be confirmed in the future by implementing and monitoring one or more DMA and comparing numerical simulations with in situ measurements.
