District Metered Areas (DMAs) were originally created to break the network down into discreet zones that could be used to monitor and manage leakage.
These days they have become a fundamental asset in how we monitor the network and report performance across multiple ODIs. Our understanding of what exists in these DMAs is key to the accuracy of our reporting and identifying the most appropriate interventions we could apply to improve performance.
By challenging our existing thinking and supplementing it with new data sources or datasets we may already hold, we can improve our DMA models. In this sprint we will look across multiple water company DMAs to identify the weaknesses and identify new sources of data to enhance DMA modelling and categorisation.
