| Popis: | Most of the small water companies supplying a small number of consumers with water are struggling with the extremely tight budget, often making any large-scale modernisation impossible. In effect network managed by these companies is often very leaky and unreliable. One possible and cheap way of leakage reduction is the reduction of average pressure in the network. Thanks to new computing technologies, the device selection process for pressure reduction is accurate and easy to do. This study uses the hydraulic model to select required pressure-reducing valves and correct locations accurately and adequately approximate the resulting absolute water loss reduction thanks to this approach. |
