Making sure that:
• No water quality or pressure problems occur
• Normal distribution conditions are respected
• The existing infrastructure is taken advantage
of to install actuators
• CAPEX are minimized
• The implementation is quickly achieved, without
modeling the complexity of the loops and
meshes in the network
• Absolutely robust and reliable, with minimum
maintenance costs
