Book excerpt: Urban Water II is the proceedings of the 2nd International Conference on the Design, Construction, Maintenance, Monitoring and Control of Urban Water Systems. The meeting was reconvened following the success of the first conference held in the New Forest, home to the Wessex Institute of Technology in 2012. Water systems in the urban environment consist of supply networks as well as sewage and storm drainage systems. They interact with each other and with warm bodies such as rivers, lakes and aquifers, and this interaction affects the quality and quantity of the different systems. As our cities continue to expand, their urban infrastructure must be re-evaluated and adapted to new requirements related to the increase in population and the growing areas under urbanisation. New water systems are also required to reduce the risk associated with floods, network failures and many others related to inadequate networks. New systems should reduce economic losses and environmental impacts as well as promote a higher degree of reliability. Improved management, measurement and control mechanisms are needed to ensure the efficiency and safety of urban water systems. Topics such as contamination and pollution discharges in urban water bodies, as well as the monitoring of water recycling systems are currently receiving a great deal of attention from researchers and professional engineers working in the water industry. Architects and town planners are also aware of the importance of the interaction between urban water cycles and city planning and landscaping. Management of all these aspects requires the development of specialised computer tools that can respond to the increased complexity of urban water systems. Relating to the subject areas of Water supply networks and Urban Drainage, topics covered include: Leakage and losses; Modelling and experimentation; Safety and security of water systems; Maintenance and repairs; Water quality; Water savings and reuse; Surface water and groundwater sources; Reservoirs; Network design; Waste water treatment and disposal; Structural works and infrastructure; Water quality issues; Combined sewer networks; Flood control; Storage tanks; Environmental impact; Domestic and industrial waste water issues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Canada's civil infrastructure systems have been in use for over 79% of their expected service life. Municipalities in Canada have noted that 59% of their water systems needed repair and the condition of 43% of these systems is unacceptable. Therefore, a significant volume of rehabilitation projects are necessary to improve infrastructure performance. Reliability and criticality assessments (RCA) as well as the ability to determine the most suitable methods of rehabilitation are urgently needed in order to allocate the available budget efficiently. The research presented in this thesis aims at developing a priority index (PI) for intervention that considers the combination of RCA for water networks. Sound techniques are utilized to develop the PI such as reliability theory, simple multi-attribute rating technique (SMART), and Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The reliability assessment encompasses two levels: (1) segment and (2) subnetwork reliabilities. The priority index (PI) for intervention is crucial to schedule segment rehabilitation. Simple Multi Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) is used to select the most suitable methods of rehabilitation for these components. Selection of a rehabilitation method is based on several factors: (1) technical feasibility, (2) whether the selection is contractually acceptable, (3) cost iv effectiveness, (4) environmental impact, and (5) whether the rehabilitation method is a new technology or not. The output of rehabilitation selection model is the method of rehabilitation for components coupled with the associated costs and durations for rehabilitation activities for each sub-network. The final stage of this research is to schedule these rehabilitation activities. Scheduling of the rehabilitation activities related to water main networks depends mainly on available budget and planning time. Other factors, such as network reliability, criticality, location, contract size, and rehabilitation method(s), also affect the scheduling process. This research presents a method for optimizing the scheduling of rehabilitation work for water distribution networks. The method utilizes unsupervised neural networks (UNNs) and Mixed Integer Non Linear Programming (MINLP) and performs the scheduling in two stages. In the first stage, UNNs are used to group water mains according to their locations and rehabilitation methods. In the second stage, MINLP is used to determine the number of rehabilitation contract packages and to generate an optimized schedule based on these packages considering network reliability, criticality, contract size, and planning time. Data on water network are collected from the city of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Four sub-networks are selected randomly from the entire network to represent four types of land use; undeveloped, residential, park, and commercial/industrial. The data is used as a test bed to validate and demonstrate the use of the developed research methodology. An automated tool (DSSWATER), based on the developed methodology, is developed to assist users and decision makers. The developed models and tools are expected to be beneficial to municipal engineers and managers as well as to academics.

This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increased water scarcity problems, coupled with the immense scale of water-intensive industrial activities in the region demands for the development of optimal water reuse and recycling strategies in industrial cities. Hence, industrial water and wastewater management is a key research priority. As a result, several necessary aspects that have not been addressed previously in water integration methods have been considered in this work, by developing and implementing a framework which allows for improved applications of macroscopic water integration in complex industrial regions. The main components relevant to the planning of cost-effective water networks in a devised city plan have been captured with a focus on identifying cost-effective water allocations within an industrial city. Detailed information associated with water-using and water-consuming entities have been captured, using both flowrate and contamination information as well as site location information. Hence, a spatial representation that is capable of capturing an industrial city arrangement, has been developed to assist in water network design, an aspect which has often been overlooked in existing methods. Moreover, the presence of a number of different options during the selection process of appropriate treatment technologies, as well as the efficient placement of corresponding treatment facilities, have also been considered. In addition to the above aspects, two different pipeline merging representations that are capable of identifying cost-effective opportunities have also been captured in this work. Both approaches allow for the screening of less complex pipeline networks, by assembling together commonly existing pipe sections, in the course of determining optimal water networks. All methods were implemented and demonstrated using several industrial city layout scenarios, and each method was able to identify a number of optimal synergies.

Book Synopsis Smart Urban Water Networks by : Armando Di Nardo
Download or read book Smart Urban Water Networks written by Armando Di Nardo and published by Mdpi AG. This book was released on 2021-07-15 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the paper form of the Special Issue (SI) on Smart Urban Water Networks. The number and topics of the papers in the SI confirm the growing interest of operators and researchers for the new paradigm of smart networks, as part of the more general smart city. The SI showed that digital information and communication technology (ICT), with the implementation of smart meters and other digital devices, can significantly improve the modelling and the management of urban water networks, contributing to a radical transformation of the traditional paradigm of water utilities. The paper collection in this SI includes different crucial topics such as the reliability, resilience, and performance of water networks, innovative demand management, and the novel challenge of real-time control and operation, along with their implications for cyber-security. The SI collected fourteen papers that provide a wide perspective of solutions, trends, and challenges in the contest of smart urban water networks. Some solutions have already been implemented in pilot sites (i.e., for water network partitioning, cyber-security, and water demand disaggregation and forecasting), while further investigations are required for other methods, e.g., the data-driven approaches for real time control. In all cases, a new deal between academia, industry, and governments must be embraced to start the new era of smart urban water systems.

Book Synopsis Water Loss Assessment in Distribution Networks by : Taha M. Al-Washali
Download or read book Water Loss Assessment in Distribution Networks written by Taha M. Al-Washali and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2021-06-08 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Water utilities worldwide lose 128 billion cubic meters annually, causing annual monetary losses estimated at USD 40 billion. Most of these losses occur in developing countries (74%). This calls for rethinking the challenges facing water utilities in developing countries, foremost of which is the assessment of water losses in intermittent supply networks. Water loss assessment methods were originally developed in continuous supply systems, and their application in intermittently operated networks (in developing countries) is hindered by the widespread use of household water tanks and unauthorised consumption. This study provides an extensive review of existing methods and (software) tools for water loss assessment. In addition, several new methods were developed, which offer improved water loss assessment in intermittent supply. As the volume of water loss varies monthly and annually according to the amount of supplied water, this study proposes procedures to normalise the volume of water loss in order to enable water utilities to monitor and benchmark their performance on water loss management. The study also developed a novel method of estimating apparent losses using routine data of WWTP inflows, enabling future real-time monitoring of losses in networks. Different methods have also been suggested to estimate the unauthorised consumption in networks. This study found that minimum night flow analysis can still be applied in intermittent supply if an area of the network is supplied for several days. Furthermore, this study concluded that water meter performance is enhanced in intermittent supply conditions. However, continuous supply in the presence of float-valves significantly reduces the accuracy of water meters. Finally, this study provides guidance and highlights several knowledge gaps in order to improve the accuracy of water loss assessment in intermittent supply. Accurate assessment of water loss is a prerequisite for reliable leakage modelling and minimisation as well as planning for, and monitoring of water loss management in distribution networks.
Book Synopsis Losses in Water Distribution Networks by : M. Farley
Download or read book Losses in Water Distribution Networks written by M. Farley and published by IWA Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03-31 with total page 297 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a best practice manual for addressing water losses in water distribution networks worldwide. Systems and methodologies are presented for improving water loss and leakage management in a range of networks, from systems with a well-developed infrastructure to those in developing countries where the network may need to be upgraded. The key feature of the manual is a diagnostic approach to develop a water loss strategy - using the appropriate tools to find the right solutions - which can be applied to any network. The methods of assessing the scale and volume of water loss are outlined, together with the procedures for setting up leakage monitoring and detection systems. As well as real losses (leakage) procedures for addressing apparent losses, by introducing regulatory and customer metering policies are explained. Suggestions are made for demand management and water conservation programmes, to complement the water loss strategy. Recommendations are made for training workshops and operation and maintenance programmes to ensure skills transfer and sustainability. The manual is illustrated throughout with case studies. Losses in Water Distribution Networks will appeal to a wide range of practitioners responsible for designing and managing a water loss strategy. These include consultants, operations managers, engineers, technicians and operational staff. It will also be a valuable reference for senior managers and decision makers, who may require an overview of the principles and procedures for controlling losses. The book will also be suitable as a source document for courses in Water Engineering, Resource Management and Environmental Management.
