Abstract: Energy consumption in water distribution networks is a widely publicised problem. Similarly the control of leakage through pressure management in water networks has also received significant attention in the literature. This paper outlines progress on the development of micro-hydropower systems for energy recovery and pressure management in water distribution networks.
