Abstract: In the present technical note, a simple methodology for identifying the source location of an accidental contamination in a water distribution network is formulated. Starting from measured solute concentration data and ...

Abstract: The assessment of flood risk is a difficult task and usually requires solution of a flood routing problem as a part of the assessment. Due to the large number of scenarios that have to be developed and analyzed, simplified ...

Abstract: Plastic pipes are widely used in pressurized water systems. Their viscoelastic behavior has to be taken into account in the design phase as well as in the interpretation of water-hammer signals for diagnostic purposes. The ...

Abstract: Fast geomorphic transients may involve complex scenarios of sediment transport, occurring near the bottom as bed load (i.e., saltating, sliding, and rolling) or as suspended load in the upper portion of the flow. The two ...

Abstract: Efficient management of a sewer system includes the control of the conveyed wastewater quality to adequately operate treatment plants and protect the receiving water bodies. Moreover, these systems are vulnerable to either ...

Abstract: Identification and control of the pollutant load in sewer networks (SNs) are among the priorities for utilities to reduce the impact on water bodies and to individuate the presence of pathogens to prevent their further ...
