Özet
The main purpose of this study is to determine the optimum pressure level by considering the economic criteria in case of applying pressure management and acoustic listening method, which are the most basic leakage reduction methods. For this purpose, optimum pressure levels were determined in the pilot regions selected and benefits to be obtained were discussed. The useful flow rate for ALC application in 4 regions was obtained as zero (0). In these DMAs, it was observed that the benefit to be obtained by applying only pressure management in these regions is more than the benefit that can be obtained from applying acoustic listening and pressure management together. Due to low water production costs, determining an active reduction strategy in the region will have uneconomic consequences for the Administration. Therefore, if there is no shortage of water resources, it would be a more ideal strategy to apply PM for DMA4. The results obtained from this study will constitute a reference within the scope of determining the optimum pressure level that will provide maximum benefit economically in the network when PM and ALC methods are used together.
