Abstract: Up to a billion people receive drinking water intermittently, sometimes for just a few hours per week. Improving water quality and reducing inequality in these supply networks can be difficult because operational details ...

Abstract: This exploratory study uses corrosion rates in aging metal pipes to predict the number of holes in drinking water supply systems over time. Using this estimate of the number of holes, it is possible to estimate the volume ...

Abstract: The use of pipes no smaller than 150 mm (6 in.) in diameter is often recommended for fire protection in North America. This work examines the some of the costs and benefits of this restriction by looking at a ...

Abstract: The effects uncertainty on water quality predictions by the free water distribution modeling software created by the US Environment Protection Agency (EPANET2) are assessed using both design of experiments (DOE) and Monte ...
