Abstract: Accurate modeling of water distribution systems is fundamental for planning and operating decisions in any water network. One important component that directly affects model accuracy is knowledge of nodal demands. Conventional ...

Abstract: Hydraulic models have been widely used for design, analysis, and operation of water distribution systems. As with all hydraulic models, water demands are one of the main parameters that cause the most uncertainty to the ...

Abstract: Timely pipe break and burst detection and localization are important for proactive management of water distribution systems (WDSs). This paper presents a novel timing-based method for fast localization of hydraulic transient ...
