Abstract: The current paper aims at the assessment of the effectiveness of a popular transient-based technique—inverse transient analysis (ITA)—for leak detection in water pipe systems using physical data. Data were collected from ...

Abstract: The efficient planning of operation and maintenance (O&M) interventions and short-term investments requires adequate and tailored inspection protocols of existing infrastructures. The current study proposes a new ...

Abstract: The current paper aims at the establishment and validation of reference cost functions for different types of assets of water supply systems based on known hydraulic (e.g., flow, pump head, pump power) and physical ...

Abstract: The current paper focuses on leakage detection in pipe systems by means of the standing wave difference method (SWDM) used for cable fault location in electrical engineering. This method is based on the generation of a ...

Abstract: The current paper aims at the establishment and validation of reference cost functions for different types of assets of water supply systems based on known hydraulic (e.g., flow, pump head, pump power) and physical ...

Abstract: Valve control has been widely used for reducing pressure and leakage in water distribution systems. However, the optimized conditions often change the water flow paths and increase residence times, thus turning pressure ...
