Water Loss Zones & District Metered Areas
Improve your leakage and non-revenue water management
As population growth and urbanisation drive up water demand, district-metered areas (DMAs) have become one of the most reliable methods for monitoring water supply networks. At Aqua Analytics, we specialise in implementing and managing DMAs to improve operational efficiency and ensure a consistent and efficient water supply.
Industry Leading District Metered Area Services
At Aqua Analytics, we provide a comprehensive suite of services to ensure the effective implementation and management of district-metered areas:
DMA Planning and Establishment
Our expert team assists in the design and setup of DMAs, ensuring optimal segmentation of your water distribution network for precise monitoring and control. We take into account factors such as network layout, customer distribution, and existing infrastructure to create effective DMAs.
DMA Analysis and Review
We offer continuous monitoring and assessment of DMAs using advanced technologies and analytical tools. Our team conducts daily reviews to identify anomalies or leaks and ensures that issues are addressed promptly to minimise water loss. Our internal DMA (District Metered Area) Monitoring Software enables us to function as a virtual control room for your water network. We gain real-time insights into your network’s performance, providing timely and accurate information for better decision-making.
Ongoing Maintenance
Ensuring that DMAs remain optimised for NRW reduction requires regular maintenance and updates. Our services include routine inspections, valve audits, equipment calibration, and system upgrades to keep your DMAs functioning at their best.
By leveraging our expertise and cutting-edge technologies, Aqua Analytics ensures that your DMAs deliver maximum efficiency and reliability.
What are District Metered Areas (DMAs)?
Understanding district-metered areas
District-metered areas are strategically defined sections of a water distribution network that allow for precise monitoring and control of water flow. By breaking down the network into manageable hydraulic segments, DMAs facilitate enhanced leak detection and contribute significantly to reducing non-revenue water.
- Leak Detection: DMAs enable focused monitoring, making it easier to identify and locate leaks within specific sections of the network.
- Non-Revenue Water Reduction: By controlling and analysing water flow in DMAs, utilities can minimise water loss and enhance revenue.
- Improved Water Flow Monitoring: DMAs provide detailed insights into water usage patterns, aiding in better management and conservation efforts.
At Aqua Analytics, we offer comprehensive services to assist with the planning, establishment, daily analysis, and ongoing maintenance of DMAs. Our expert teams ensure that each DMA is optimised for NRW reduction, providing you with a reliable and efficient water distribution network.
Benefits of District Metered Areas
Enhanced Leak Detection
By monitoring smaller, manageable sections of the network, DMAs make it easier to identify and pinpoint leaks accurately, leading to quicker repairs and less water loss.
Reduction of Non-Revenue Water
DMAs help in reducing NRW by allowing for precise control and analysis of water flow, minimising losses and improving revenue collection.
Improved Water Flow Monitoring and Control
With DMAs, utilities can gain detailed insights into water usage patterns, enabling better management and optimisation of water resources.
Cost Savings and Resource Optimisation
By reducing water loss and improving efficiency, DMAs contribute to significant cost savings in water supply management and infrastructure maintenance.
How do DMAs help in leak detection?
DMAs enable focused monitoring of smaller sections of the water distribution network. This targeted approach makes it easier to identify and locate leaks accurately, allowing for quicker repairs and less water loss.
How does Aqua Analytics ensure the ongoing maintenance of DMAs?
Aqua Analytics provides comprehensive services for the ongoing maintenance of DMAs, including routine inspections, equipment calibration, and system upgrades. Our team conducts daily analysis and review to ensure DMAs remain optimised for NRW reduction.
