Mu nganda zitunganya amazi, ibipimo by'amazi bipima ikirere mu gihe cyo gutwara amazi byagaragaje ko bikoreshwa cyane kandi bifite akamaro kanini.

Mu gihe cyo gutwara amazi mabi, amazi mabi akunze guturuka mu mazi karemano nk'imigezi n'ibiyaga, afite ubwiza bw'amazi bugoye ashobora kuba arimo imyanda nk'ibimera byo mu mazi. Ibipimo by'amazi bipima amazi mu gihe cyo kuyatwara, bidafite ibice by'imashini bigenda, ntibishobora kwangirika cyangwa kwangirika bitewe n'imyanda. Bishobora gupima neza amazi mabi menshi atemba, bigafasha inganda zitunganya amazi gukurikirana neza amazi yose akoreshwa no gutegura neza inzira zo kuyatunganya.

Mu gihe cyo gutunganya uruganda rw'amazi, haba mu mikoranire nko gufungana, gusya, kuyungurura, cyangwa kwica udukoko, kugenzura neza ingano y'imiti itandukanye ikoreshwa mu gutunganya amazi birakenewe kugira ngo hamenyekane ingaruka zo gutunganya amazi n'umutekano w'ubuziranenge bw'amazi. Ibipimo by'amazi bipima neza ingano y'imiti mu miyoboro ikoreshwa mu gutunganya amazi bishobora gupima neza umuvuduko w'imiti mu miyoboro ikoreshwa mu gutunganya amazi. Binyuze mu guhuza na sisitemu zo kugenzura zikora, bituma habaho kugenzura imikoreshereze y'imiti mu buryo bufunze, bigahindura ikoreshwa ry'imiti mu gihe nyacyo hakurikijwe impinduka mu bwiza bw'amazi. Ibi ntibigaragaza gusa ingaruka zo gutunganya ahubwo binagabanya ikiguzi cy'imiti kandi bikagabanya ihumana ry'ibidukikije.

Mu gihe cyo gutwara no gukwirakwiza amazi meza, ibyuma bipima amazi mu gihe cyo kuyatwara bishobora gukurikirana mu buryo bwihuse impinduka mu miyoboro y’amazi yo mu mijyi, bigafasha ibigo bitanga amazi kubona vuba aho imiyoboro itembera, ikoreshwa ridasanzwe ry’amazi, n’ibindi bibazo. Imikorere yabyo yo gupima neza ishobora gufata neza itandukaniro rito ry’amazi, kandi bifite akamaro kanini mu gukurikirana amazi mu bice by’imiyoboro, bigatanga inkunga yizewe y’amakuru yo gucunga neza imiyoboro y’amazi no kwemeza ko amazi yo mu mijyi atangwa neza kandi neza.

Byongeye kandi, ibipimo by'amazi bipima ikirere mu gihe cyo gutwara amazi bifite uburyo bworoshye bwo gushyiraho. Bishobora gushyirwaho hakoreshejwe uburyo bwo gushyiramo amazi mu miyoboro ya amazi nta guhagarika inzira y'amazi, bigabanya cyane ingaruka zo gushyiraho no kubungabunga imikorere isanzwe ya sisitemu zo gutunganya amazi no kugabanya ikiguzi cy'ubwubatsi n'igihe. Hagati aho, uburyo bwabo bwo gutumanaho mu buryo bw'ikoranabuhanga bworohereza guhuza na sisitemu za SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) z'inganda z'amazi, bigatuma amakuru yoherezwa kure no gukurikirana amakuru mu buryo bwihuse, kandi bikanoza urwego rw'ubwenge mu mikorere n'imicungire y'inganda z'amazi.
