The impact of the number of high temporal resolution water meters on the determinism of water consumption in a district metered area

DMA zone parameters

A diagram of the water consumption in the selected DMA zone is shown in Fig. 3a. Since the selected DMA zone is mainly dominated by multi-family housing, more than 85% of the injected water is taken for the domestic purposes of its residents.
