As a new management model of water distribution system(WDS), DMA, which has an essential significance for improving management level of WDS, is proposed. In recent years, researches had yielded some results on problems such as DMA zonal methods, leakage controling, pressure management and water network protection from intentional contamination and so on. Based on summaries of fundamental principles and design discipline of DMA, the current research progress of theoretical DMA zonal methods is focused on, an...
