Decomposition of Water Distribution Networks
A I I E Transactions, 1976Abstract This paper generalizes the class of design problems for water supply systems which can be solved by mathematical programming. The goal is to design a least cost water supply system to satisfy minimal pressure head requirements at specified rates of usage for multiple customers.

Districting Methods for Water Distribution Networks
Growing awareness of environmental issues and the need for sustainable resource management increasingly underscore the importance of water as a finite and valuable resource. Despite this recognition, many water distribution systems suffer from significant inefficiencies, including excessive leakage, limited preventative measures, and a predominately ...Bonventre D. +3 more

Security Issues in Drinking Water Distribution Networks
2008This paper formulates the security problem of sensor placement in water distribution networks for contaminant detection. An initial attempt to develop a problem formulation is presented, suitable for mathematical analysis and design. Multiple risk-related objectives are minimized in order to compute the Pareto front of a set of possible solutions; the ...

Sampling design for water distribution network
2003Modeling activities, specifically model calibration, need sensor measurements. Since data collection is expensive and time-consuming, ineffective measurements should be avoided. For this reason, it is important to have a method for designing the field data collection that will give the most useful information.

Optimization of water distribution networks
Journal of Hydraulic Research, 1996In this study, a computer program is developed which enables us to design a water distribution system which satisfies all constraints including pipe diameters, low velocities, and nodal pressures with a minimum total cost. The hydraulic analysis of the water distribution system is performed by the Newton-Raphson method.

Distributed estimation and control of water distribution networks by logical consensus
2014 6th International Symposium on Communications, Control and Signal Processing (ISCCSP), 2014In this study we present a methodology for backflow detection through the interpretation of results from a network of Automatic Meter Reading. The approach is based on the so-called logical consensus theory and consists of a distributed failure detection and system reconfiguration.

Significance of Water Distribution Networks in Water Supply
SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011It is a common temptation to suppose that consumer demand satisfaction is mostly dependent on the amount of water discharged into a network and hence, complaints about inadequate supply are usually blamed on insufficient production. However, a recent study by the authors indicated that equally important is the distribution network through which the ...

Computational Risk Assessment in Water Distribution Network
Water Distribution Networks (WDNs) are critical to urban infrastructure, ensuring the delivery of clean water but subject to ageing, environmental challenges, and operational pressures. This study employs a fuzzy logic-based approach using the Mamdani inference system to evaluate risks in Hashtgerd’s WDN. Key risks include contamination in water wells,Yas Barzegar +5 more
