Abstract

Using minimum night flow (MNF) to determine leakage is an efficient method in District Metered Area (DMA),in which short-time inference is more useful and convenient base on the analysis with the comparison of hourly statistics. The case analysis shows the accuracy and effectiveness of short-time inference are mainly interfered by the precision of data recording system and the matching degree (Ma) between the minimum flow and the diameter of metering equipment in the DMA’s inlets. Due to the current state of affairs in China, it is not feasible to immediately upgrade data precision; therefore, it is suggested that one could combine hourly statistics and improving Ma values in the application process of leak determination. Moreover, it is also necessary to promote the popularization of short-time inference through upgraded metering and recording equipment precision.
