Abstract
This paper explores the optimization and management of a water distribution network using a SCADA system integrated with DMAs (District Metered Areas) and PMAs (Pressure Management Areas) to improve hydraulic characteristics.
The study demonstrates the importance of early fault detection, real-time monitoring, and effective pressure management within high-pressure zones to reduce water loss, enhance operational
efficiency, and extend the lifespan of infrastructure. It recommends future improvements, including the addition of a new PMA to further regulate pressure, reduce faults, and decrease water
consumption. By implementing these strategies, the network can
achieve significant financial and environmental benefits, ensuring
sustainable and efficient water supply management.
