Evaluation of minimum residual pressure as design criterion for South African water distribution systems

The South African civil engineering fraternity has grown to accept 24 m as the design criterion for minimum residual pressure in water distribution systems. However, the theoretical peak demand in many systems has increased beyond the point where minimum residual pressure exceeds 24 m - at least acc...
