Optimization of parameter settings in pressure measurement using Astacus technology to achieve statistically representative estimation of pressure ratios in the water supply network

Abstract

Reliable operation of public water supply systems requires a detailed understanding of pressure conditions within the network. Accurate pressure assessment involves extensive in situ measurements followed by statistical analysis. Key questions arise about the duration, location, methods, equipment, and frequency of such measurements. Since water pressure fluctuates due to flow dynamics and reservoir levels, this study analyses large datasets from various campaigns across multiple water networks.
