Pipeline and Asset Management:
Selection, installation, Maintenance, renewal, Replacement
**The methodology was developed by WLTF (Water Lost Task Force) of the International Water Association (IWA)

4. How Pressure Management Workss
Utilities provide water at high pressure
Service level everywhere all the time
High pressure = More loss
More water from leaks: $10B USD
High pressure causes more bursts
Target: Reduce pressure while providing quality service
Based on DMAs
Monitor pressure of critical point (P3)
Control pressure at DMA entry so that P3 is at the required level
Requires ability to constantly monitor and control pressure and flow

5. Dynamic Pressure Management
Advantages
Deals with all leaks - undetectable and detectable
Fast ROI – optimized results
Quick to implement
Immediate measurable results – up to 50% reduction in leaks
Long time benefits: burst reduction, lower maintenance
Cheaper than other methods
Provides critical information to Improve operations
Independent of other methods
