Our expertise and tailored solutions empower water utilities to detect leaks, allocate resources, reduce losses, enhance operational performance, and ensure the reliable delivery of clean water to customers. ![DMA Sectorisation 1](https://www.crowderconsult.com/hubfs/Crowder_Consulting_Theme_Sep2023/Images/DMA%20Sectorisation%201.webp "DMA Sectorisation 1") ### **How we can help you** - **DMA establishment:** We assist water operators in sizing and establishing DMAs, considering network complexity, physical boundaries, and connection density. - **Operability assessment:** Our experts evaluate the feasibility of existing DMAs, ensuring they are efficient and effective in managing water resources. - **Flow and demand balances:** We conduct integrated flow and demand balances to provide a comprehensive overview of your network's performance. - **Sub-division strategies:** For large or complex DMAs, we implement sub-division strategies using permanent or temporary metering, data logging, and valving. - **Leakage identification:** We monitor night flow and pressures in sub-areas to pinpoint high leakage locations, facilitating targeted leak detection and repair. - **Hydraulic modelling** Our approach incorporates hydraulic modelling, boundary checks, and pressure and consumption logging to refine sub-division processes.
