Designing Optimal Reliable Multiquality Water Supply Systems

by Avi Ostfeld, Technion, Haifa, Israel,
Uri Shamir, (M.ASCE), Technion, Haifa, Israel,



Document Type: Proceeding Paper

Part of: Water Policy and Management: Solving the Problems

Abstract:

A methodology which integrates optimal design and reliability of a multiquality water supply system is presented and demonstrated. The system constructed is able to sustain prescribed failure scenarios, such as a single random component failure, and still maintain a desired level of service in terms of the quantities, qualities and pressures supplied to the consumers.
