HydroGen: an Artificial Water Distribution Network Generator

Water Resources Management, 2013
Many (metaheuristic) techniques for water distribution network (WDN) design optimisation already have been developed. Despite of the aforementioned scientific attention, only few, high-quality benchmark networks are available for algorithm testing, which, in turn, hinders profound algorithm testing, sensitivity analysis and comparison of the developed ...

Security Issues in Drinking Water Distribution Networks

2008
This 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 ...

Significance of Water Distribution Networks in Water Supply

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2011
It 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 ...

Detection of Contamination in Water Distribution Network

2013
Monitoring drinking water is an important public health problem because the safe drinking water is essential for human life. Many procedures have been developed for monitoring water quality in water treatment plants for years. Monitoring of water distribution systems has received less attention. The goal of this communication is to study the problem of

Optimized water distribution network design

1977
This thesis describes a study of two approaches to the design of water distribution networks to meet specified demands at minimum cost. One method is based on an incremental increase technique which first examines all possible "one-size" pipe increases in the network, then based on a benefit/cost analysis a decision is made on which pipe to increase ...

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,

Seismic reliability of urban water distribution networks

2015
Water distribution networks are critical for the recovery of an urban area struck by a moderate to strong earthquake. In the paper a refined computational procedure is presented able to assess the post-seismic re-sponse of a water distribution system. The procedure permits to deal either a scenario analysis (when the earthquake that is going to hit the

Automated Water Quality Monitoring In Water Distribution Networks

2003
An integrated methodology is presented for monitoringin a continuous and automated fashionthe quality of drinking water in pipe distribution networks. Such water quality monitoring may be accomplished by observing simultaneously several quality indices (from those included in the E.E.
