Abstract: This study discusses practical implications of considering unit head loss in different pipe sizes and in different locations of water distribution systems (WDSs) with regard to operation and maintenance. By visualizing ...

Abstract: Most utilities are actively engaged in pipe replacement planning for a variety of reasons: to reduce the volume of lost water in their network by repairing or avoiding main breaks, to alleviate water quality concerns, to ...

Abstract: This paper presents an approach to managing surface water abstraction utilizing real-time flow forecasting and control techniques. To evaluate the effectiveness of alternative data-driven and process-based methods, flow ...

Abstract: Brittle failure of a buried pressurized water pipe can result in rapid crater formation, causing debris to be thrown out over large distances as well as longer-term flooding and scour effects. Due to the potential for ...
