Remarkable progress has been made since 1995 in the understanding of the many and diverse benefits of actively managing pressure in distribution systems. This section of the LEAKSSuite website contains a selection of papers by Allan Lambert and colleagues from the IWA Water Loss Specialist Group which highlight some key steps in the steady development of concepts which provide insights, calculations and predictions in the rapidly expanding growth of knowledge of ‘Influences of Pressure’.
