A metrizable topological space has a metric taking values in a closed subset of the real numbers having Čech dimension zero if and only if the space itself has Čech dimension zero. We call a development D = {Dn} for a topological space (X, T) a sieve for X if the sets in each Dn are pairwise disjoint. Then a Hausdorff topological space (X, T) has a compatible metric taking values in a closed subset of the real numbers having Čech dimension zero if and only if there exists a sieve for X.
