Occurrence of Fungi in Water Distribution System .
free download
Abstract it is demonstrated that contamination of water distribution systems with fungi is determined by the number and species composition of the mycoflora of waters supplying a given Water Treatment Plant (WTP) and the effectiveness of their removal in the unit
Max-min ant system applied to water distribution system optimization
free download
Water distribution systems (WDSs) are costly infrastructure in terms of materials, construction, maintenance and energy requirements. Much attention has been given to the application of optimisation methods to minimise the costs associated with such
Graph partitioning for automatic sectorization of a water distribution system
free download
The best results for water balance and pressure control of a water distribution system can be achieved by defining some permanent districts, called District Meter Area (DMA), obtained by the insertion of boundary valves that modify the original network layout and worsen
Night flow analysis and modeling for leakage estimation in a water distribution system
free download
Water distribution system management is an increasing complex problem for a significant number of reasons. General requirements force water utilities to continuously improve and update their system in order to guarantee safe water to consumers at all times. In countries

Performance indicators of water losses in distribution system
free download
NRW = Net production Revenue water = UFW + water which is accounted for, but no revenue is collected (unbilled authorized consumption). 8 Water loss is expressed as a percentage of net water production (delivered to the distribution system ) as m3/day/km of water distribution pipe
Water distribution system operation: application of simulated annealing
free download
The operation of water distribution systems affects the water quality in these systems. EPA regulations require that water quality be maintained at all points in the system including the point of delivery. Methods to optimize water system operations have been restricted to
Non-invasive acceleration-based methodology for damage detection and assessment of water distribution system
free download
This paper presents the results of a pilot study and verification of concept of a novel methodology for damage detection and assessment of water distribution system . The unique feature of the proposed noninvasive methodology is the use of accelerometers installed on
Free chlorine residual content within the drinking water distribution system
free download
This paper explains the principle of chlorination and reveals the free chlorine residual content within a drinking water distribution system located in peninsular Malaysia. The study found that the free chlorine at user points was slightly greater than 0.3 mg/l, which is higher
A Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) heuristic for water distribution system analysis
free download
Looped water distribution systems are conventionally analyzed by using iterative numerical methods. The aim of the applied numerical methods is to solve the system of non-linear equations which express the energy and mass balance at the nodes. Instead of the widely
Statistical estimation of water distribution system pipe break risk
free download
The deterioration of pipes in urban water distribution systems presents a major challenge to water utilities throughout the world. Pipe deterioration can lead to pipe breaks and leaks, which result in a reduction in the water carrying capacity of pipes and lead to
Chlorine concentration decay in the water distribution system of a town with 50000 inhabitants
