Pressure Management Model for Urban Water Distribution Networks

A technique for leakage reduction is pressure management, which considers the direct relationship between leakage and pressure. To control the hydraulic pressure in a water distribution system, water levels in the storage tanks should be maintained as much as the variations in the water demand allows. The problem is bounded by minimum and maximum allowable pressure at the demand nodes. In this study, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) based optimization model is used to develop the optimal hourly water level variations in a storage tank in different seasons in order to minimize the leakage level. Resiliency and failure indices of the system have been considered as constraints in the optimization model to achieve the minimum required performance. In the proposed model, the results of a water distribution simulation model are used to train an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. Outputs of the ANN model as a hydraulic pressure function is then linked to a GA based optimization model to simulate hydraulic pressure and leakage at each node of the water distribution network based on the water level in the storage tank, water consumption and elevation of each node. The proposed model is applied for pressure management of a major pressure zone with an integrated storage facility in the northwest part of Tehran Metropolitan area. The results show that network leakage can be reduced more than 30% during a year when tank water level is optimized by the proposed model.     

Design of Water Distribution Network for Equitable Supply

Water shortage is experienced in different parts of the world in different magnitude. In certain countries, water deficit is a regular phenomenon and in some other countries it happens for a short duration, due to failure of any component in the system. Shortage of water at source can be best tackled by distributing the available water equally among the consumers. This paper deals with the design of water distribution network capable of equitable supply during shortage in addition to the satisfactory performance under non-deficit condition. Performance of a typical water distribution network, with shortage of water at source is illustrated in detail. Head dependent outflow analysis with extended period simulation, is used to determine the actual supply from each node to consumers. Relationship between duration of supply and volume available at source as well as supply from each node are established for understanding the behaviour of network under low supply situation. A term “inequity” which is the maximum difference in supply demand ratio among different consumers is presented. This is based on the actual performance of the network instead of surrogate measures, generally used for reliability. It is illustrated that the maximum “inequity” in supply in a network during the entire duration of supply can be estimated with single analysis. Design of a water distribution network, duly considering equity in addition to the cost minimization and minimum head requirement is presented. Genetic Algorithm is used for solving this multi objective problem. The solution technique is illustrated using two benchmark problems, namely two loop network and Hanoi network. Results show that considerable improvement in equitable supply can be achieved with additional investment on pipes above the least cost solution. Hence it is better to design networks duly considering deficit condition for better reliability. It is also illustrated that it will be difficult to improve equity beyond a limit for a given network, through selection of different pipe diameters.     

Nodal Analysis of Urban Water Distribution Networks

There are three methods for analysing the flow and pressure distribution in looped water supply networks (the loop method, the node method, the pipe method), accounting for the chosen unknown hydraulic parameters. For all of these methods, the nonlinear system of equations can be solved using iterative procedures (Hardy–Cross, Newton–Raphson, linear theory). In the cases of the extension or the rehabilitation of distribution networks, the unknown parameters are the hydraulic heads at nodes, and the nodal method for network analysis is preferred. In this paper, a generalised classic model is developed for the nodal analysis of complex looped systems with non-standard network components and the solvability of new problems, along with the determination of the pressure state in the system. In addition, this paper exhibits a different approach to this problem by using the variational formulation method for the development of a new analysis model based on unconditioned optimisation techniques. This model has the advantage of using a specialised optimisation algorithm, which directly minimises an objective multivariable function without constraints, implemented in a computer program. The two proposed models are compared with the classic Hardy–Cross method, and the results indicated a good performance of these models. Finally, a study is performed regarding the implications of the long-term operation of the pipe network on energy consumption using these models. The new models can serve as guidelines to supplement existing procedures of network analysis.     

Sustainability Assessment of Urban Water Distribution Systems

A methodology is presented for determining sustainability indices for pressure and water age in water distribution systems (WDSs). These sustainability indices are based upon performance criteria including reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability. Pressure and water age are determined for a WDS as a function of operation time using the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency EPANET model. The values of pressure and water age are used to determine reliability, resiliency, and vulnerability performance criteria, which are then combined into the nodal sustainability indices for water age and pressure. In addition, the sustainability index (SI) computations are performed for zones to define the SI for water age and SI for pressure. A combined SI calculation is performed to produce an overall sustainability score for the entire zone in the water distribution network. The proposed methodology can be used to monitor the sustainability of existing WDSs and to help define alternative solutions including changes in pump operation and modifications to WDS to increase the sustainability.
