Protection of the water system is paramount due to the negative consequences of
contaminated water on the public health. Water resources are one of the critical …

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 …

This paper proposes a new methodology for the optimal design of water network
sectorization, which is an essential technique for improving the management and security of …

This paper presents a novel methodology for assessing an isolation valve system and the
portions of a water distribution network (segments) directly isolated by valve closure …

Water distribution system (WDS) models may improve system control when applied using
real-time data, and in doing so, help meet consumer and regulatory demands. Such real …

In water distribution systems (WDSs), the available flow at a demand node is dependent on
the pressure at that node. When a network is lacking in pressure, not all consumer demands …

Pressure-deficient conditions are a common occurrence in water distribution systems. These
situations require accurate modelling for timely decision making. However, the conventional …

The occurrence of water losses in Water Distribution Systems is inevitable. Knowing that
most of the real losses take place in distribution mains and in service connections, the …

Simulation models for water distribution networks are used routinely for many purposes.
Some examples are planning, design, monitoring and control. However, under conditions of …

Mechanical reliability analysis of water distribution networks (WDNs) refers to the
assessment to provide correct service to customers under abnormal functioning conditions …
