Multivariate analysis of the pressure variation in intermittent water supply systems and the impact on demand satisfaction

In intermittent drinking water distribution systems, large volumes of the water are wasted due to leaks in the distribution networks. Similarly, user service is not always satisfied in the time required to fill the storage, nor with sufficient pressure. Hence the importance of this study. Measuring...
