Water and biofilm in drinking water distribution systems in the Netherlands

Science of The Total Environment, 2022
To keep the high quality of drinking water in the future for non-chlorinated drinking water systems, knowledge about the variables that most strongly affect this quality is necessary in order to know where to focus on and possibly even change aspects of drinking water production and distribution.

Reliability assessment of water distribution systems with statistical entropy and other surrogate measures [PDF]

, 2010
There is ever increasing commercial and regulatory pressure to minimise the cost of water distribution networks even as the demand for them keeps on growing. But cost minimizing is only one of the demands placed on network design.

Analysis of water quality characteristic for water distribution systems

Journal of Water Reuse and Desalination, 2019
Since governments all over the world are paying more attention to water quality in water distribution systems (WDS), a method based on mass balance and first-order chlorine decay model was proposed to assess the efficiency of WDS involving water quality (

Automated sub-zoning of water distribution systems [PDF]

Environmental Modelling & Software, 2015
Water distribution systems (WDS) are complex pipe networks with looped and branching topologies that often comprise thousands to tens of thousands of links and nodes. This work presents a generic framework for improved analysis and management of WDS by partitioning the system into smaller (almost) independent sub-systems with balanced loads and minimal
