Abstract: The paper concerns the problem of minimization or leakage in water‐distributed networks. It has been reported that leakage from some networks may account for a significant amount of the water put into supply. For some aging ...

Abstract: A practical way of assessing the impact of various pipe failure conditions on water distribution networks is described. The method avoids the need to undertake a full network analysis or simulation for each particular ...

Abstract: A new approach for reliability-based optimization of water distribution networks is presented. The approach is capable of recognizing the uncertainty in nodal demands and pipe capacity as well as the effects of mechanical ...

Abstract: A two-stage methodology for assessment of reliability of water distribution networks recognizing uncertainties in nodal demands, pipe capacity, reservoir/tank levels, and availability of system components is proposed. In ...
