Abstract: Performance of water distribution systems (WDSs) is highly dependent on consumer water demand that has to be met with adequate pressure. With uncertain future water demand due to the effect of rapid urbanization and climate ...

Abstract: In order to address the issue of water demand uncertainty due to the effect of climate change and urbanization in the design and management of water distribution systems (WDSs), a flexible methodology that combines sampling ...

Abstract: Predicting water demand is necessary to ensure a secure water supply to homes and businesses. With great uncertainty around future changes in the climate and in UK households, it is essential to accurately determine the ...

Abstract: Increasingly, water loss via leakage is acknowledged as one of the main challenges facing water distribution system operations. The consideration of water loss over time, as systems age, physical networks grow, and consumption ...

Abstract: Topological and pressure-driven analyses are an integral part of reliability/risk considerations for a water distribution system. For example, it is often necessary to identify which parts of the distribution network are ...

Abstract: A number of pressure-driven analysis (PDA)–based hydraulic solvers have been proposed in the literature to address issues of negative pressures estimated by demand-driven analysis (DDA) solvers. However, the PDA methods ...

Abstract: This research article presents a model-based framework for detecting and localizing leaks in water distribution networks (WDNs). The framework uses optimization and systematic search space reduction. The method employs two ...

Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology for the automated near-real-time detection of pipe bursts and other events that induce similar abnormal pressure/flow variations (e.g., unauthorized consumptions) at the district metered ...
