Reducing water losses in water distribution systems is very necessary in terms of water, energy, purification and time savings. Reducing water losses can only be effectively achieved by performing pressure management with the help of hydraulic model. When this process is attempted with fixed pressure output pressure deduction valves, it is likely that the critical point falls below the minimum pressure value, or that the desired output cannot be obtained from pressure management. This is why, especially in large cities where water consumption patterns show large emissions, pressure management with real-time control method is quite beneficial in terms of reducing the amount of water lost. Two important activities have been carried out in this work. The first of these is the conduct of a precision analysis by conducting the real-time pressure management in the hydraulic model of a hypothetical network under different water loss scenarios. The second is the fact that a real network’s hydraulic model is successful in reducing water losses by applying real-time pressure management.
