Sectorising is the process of splitting a large water reticulation system into smaller zones which can be individually monitored to help in the identification of water losses and other water related problems. The process of sectorising is well known as a critical element of any water loss reduction programme and has long been regarded as the starting point of any comprehensive water demand management strategy.

Water Loss Management Summary Sheets: 2. Pressure Management
While managing water pressures in a supply area is not simple and there are a great many issues to consider, the common factor in every system is the fact that leakage is driven by pressure and if the pressure is increased, the leakage will also increase. If the water pressure in a system can be reduced, even for a short period during times of low demand, the water leakage from the system will be reduced. Pressure has been recognised as the single most important issue to be considered when trying to reduce leakage from a water reticulation system.
