Abstract: The present work aims to investigate the effect of pipe roughness on the construction cost of sewer networks in steep terrains. To achieve this objective, a sensitivity analysis was performed, wherein a sewer network was ...

Abstract: External abrasion caused by leaks in pipe connections is a constant risk for water distribution systems (WDSs). Phenomena related to pipe leakages may lead not only to flow losses and pressure drops in locations where they ...

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. ...

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 ...

Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the operation of water utilities across the world. In the context of utilities, new protocols were needed to ensure that employees can work safely, and that water service is not interrupted. ...

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 ...
