Description
This paper outlines the importance of proactive pressure management as part of a demand management strategy that would use pressure management as a pre-requisite for effective management of Real Losses and as an option for managing components of undesired consumption. The paper discusses the practical benefits of pressure management that include: ensures minimum standards of service for pressure are achieved; identifies and minimizes surge; reduces new leak frequencies and extends infrastructure working life; reduces excess pressures; reduces flow rates from existing leaks; reduces some components of consumption (if appropriate); reduces new leak frequencies and natural rate of rise of leakage; and, extends infrastructure working life. Three case studies are given. Includes 11 references, figures.
