Identifying Head Accumulation due to Transient Wave Superposition in Pipelines
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Fluctuations in pressures are part of the normal behavior of water distribution systems. The common perception is that transient events dissipate quickly in a network without significant consequences; however, under certain ...
Merging Fluid Transient Waves and Artificial Neural Networks for Burst Detection and Identification in Pipelines
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The occurrence of bursts in water pipelines can not only prevent the system from functioning properly, but it can also produce significant water loss that disrupts activities in urban areas. Therefore, the detection and ...
Stochastic Resonance Enhancement for Leak Detection in Pipelines Using Fluid Transients and Convolutional Neural Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water losses through leakage represent a significant problem for asset management in water distribution systems. The interpretation of fluid transient pressure waves after the generation of a transient event has been ...
Leak Detection and Topology Identification in Pipelines Using Fluid Transients and Artificial Neural Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Condition assessment of water pipelines using fluid transient waves is a noninvasive technique that has been investigated for the past 25 years. Approaches to identify different anomalies and to identify elements of ...
Phased Methodology for the Optimal Rehabilitation of a Network with an Intermittent Water Supply Based on Hydraulic Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The intermittent supply of drinking water represents a major technical and social challenge, affecting more than 1 billion people worldwide. This paper proposes a methodology with three stages to rehabilitate a ...
Rehabilitation and Leakage Reduction on C-Town Using Hydraulic Criteria
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to rehabilitate and manage leakages on the C-Town water distribution system. A hydraulic model with emitters was considered to represent pipe leakages as concentrated flows in the nodes. ...
Battle of the Water Networks District Metered Areas
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Battle of Water Networks District Metered Areas (BWNDMA) was the latest of the Battle of Water Networks competition series held at the 18th Water Distribution Systems Analysis Conference (WDSA 2016) as part of ASCE’s ...

Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology to rehabilitate and manage leakages on the C-Town water distribution system. A hydraulic model with emitters was considered to represent pipe leakages as concentrated flows in the nodes. ...
Battle of the Water Networks II
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the latest of a series of competitions related to the design and operation of water distribution systems (WDSs) undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis ...
