Narrative:
On descent we lost our blue hydraulic system electric pump. Among the ECAM messages was something like 'blue system press low'. As the flying pilot I continued to fly the aircraft and obtained delay vectors while the captain worked the problem. With dispatch we determined it was best to divert due to landing distance requirements with the blue hydraulic system out. Divert was uneventful.
