Abstract: Rapid urban, economic, and population growth has led to increased water demand and reduced availability. At the same time, the condition of water distribution systems has deteriorated, and water leakage has increased. ...

Abstract: In this study, the relationship between the conventional power equation and the

Abstract: Pressure management has been used for more than 3 decades to reduce leakage from water distribution systems. While few of these studies have been published, information on the ranges of field study leakage exponents is ...

Abstract: Sewer pipe deterioration is driven by a finite number of root causes and processes. Thus, it should be both feasible and advantageous to have a uniform classification system that can be universally applied in sewer ...

Abstract: The hydraulics of leakage and intrusion flows through leak openings in pipes is complicated by variations in the leak areas owing to changes in pressure. This paper argues that the pressure–area relationship can reasonably ...

Abstract: It has been well established that leakage from pipes is more sensitive to changes in pressure than the square root relationship predicted by the orifice equation. The main reason for this is that leak areas are not static, ...

Abstract: Fluid pressure influences leakage flow rate in water distribution pipe networks. Significant progress has been made in the use of pressure management techniques to control leakage. An empirical power equation (known as the ...
