If DMAs are not established, these strategies can be implemented to reduce leaks: - Conducting strategic analyses and reporting for determining consumptions, real losses, and the Infrastructure Leakage Index (ILI). - Implementing daily flow and night flow measurements with permanent and temporary meters. - Detection and repair programmes using smart technologies. - Investigations, monitoring, hydraulic modelling analyses, and design for establishing DMAs. ![Leakage Management in District Areas (DMAs) 1](https://www.crowderconsult.com/hubfs/Crowder_Consulting_Theme_Sep2023/Images/Leakage%20Management%20in%20District%20Areas%20(DMAs)%201.webp "Leakage Management in District Areas (DMAs) 1") [request a callback](https://www.crowderconsult.com/request-a-callback) If DMAs are established, a number of initiatives must be maintained to reduce leakage, including: Interpreting and applying the outputs of regular water balance and leakage analyses for each DMA.
