Sensor data-loggers
7: How is a DMA created?
By closing valves within the distribution pipe network to create a zone and installing flowmeters where valves are left open to register the volume of water supplied and removed from the DMA
7: How is a DMA created?
By leaving open a few valves within the distribution pipe network and installing consumer meters to register water supplied to the DMA
