Optimal Rehabilitation Model for Water Distribution Systems

by Joong Hoon Kim, Korea Univ, Seoul, Republic of Korea,
Larry W. Mays, Korea Univ, Seoul, Republic of Korea,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Water Management in the '90s: A Time for Innovation

Abstract:

The objective of this paper is to describe a new methodology which can select the pipes to be rehabilitated and/or replaced in an existing water distribution system and determine how much the pumping capacities should be increased so that the water demand and pressure requirements at all demand nodes are satisfied while the total cost is the minimum. Five cost functions are considered.
