Quantifying Hierarchical Indicators of Water Distribution Network Structure and Identifying Their Relationships with Surrogate Indicators of Hydraulic Performance
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Enhancing the performance of water distribution networks (WDNs) on a day-to-day basis or under extreme disturbances is an utmost priority for utilities. Previous research has characterized the structure of WDNs in the ...
Evaluating Segment and Valve Importance and Vulnerability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Because consideration of segments and valves is essential for evaluating the reliability and resilience of water distribution networks (WDNs) when shutdowns are required, a quick method of identifying critical and vulnerable ...
Water Distribution–Transportation Interface Connectivity Responding to Urban Geospatial Morphology
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water distribution and transportation systems are geospatially colocated, forming a network of connections. This network of connections is referred to as an interface network. Investigation of interface network connectivity ...
Geospatial Vulnerability Framework for Identifying Water Infrastructure Inequalities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Recent infrastructure failures in the United States have brought attention to the ways and extent to which water security is unevenly distributed in urban areas. For many marginalized communities, infrastructure interdependencies ...
