Hydraulic Availability Evaluation of Urban Water Distribution Systems
This paper presents a concept for evaluating urban water system reliability using an extended period hydraulic simulation model in conjunction with mechanical availability analysis. Reliability...
Joint Consideration of Pipe Breakage and Pipe Flow Probabilities
Two issues of distribution network reliability, namely, probability of pipe failure and probability of the design flow being exceeded have been discussed. Expressions containing measures...
Optimal Design of Large Scale Water Distribution Systems
This paper presents a methodology for the design of least cost water distribution systems. The advantage of the formulation compared to the other techniques in the literature is that it...
Management of Water Distribution System Components
The purpose of this study is to 1) analyze main break failures and 2) incorporate other drinking water distribution system components into a data base management structure for reliability...
Scour Downstream of High Level Emergency Spillways
The Corps of Engineers has numerous high level emergency spillways (HLES) including some that have the potential for excessive scour downstream during certain flow events. 'Excessive...
Water Distribution System Design by Chance-Constrained Model
The objective of this paper is to present an optimization model for the design of water distribution systems considering the uncertainty in required demands, required pressures, and pipe...
Analytical Simulation of Bulk Water Supply Network Reliability
The authors present an analytical method for estimating failure probabilities for a bulk water supply network with spatially dispersed supply, demand, and storage. The method examines...
Reliability Analysis of Pumping Stations and Storage Facilities
The methodology presented for pumping stations is based upon three models: a supply model, a demand model, and a margin model. The supply model considers so-called states of a system which...
Model for the Optimal Rehabilitation and Replacement of Water Distribution System Components
The objective of the model presented is to determine the minimum cost solution, given the nonlinear nature of the equations required to describe the cost and the hydraulics of a water...
Comparing Two Estuarine Mass Transport Models
Two simplified mass transport models for partially mixed estuaries were evaluated using data from the Patuxent and James Estuaries. The first of the models was developed by Pritchard in...
Basin: A Simple Yet Many Faceted Model for Estuarial Impoundments
BASIN is a hydrodynamic and water quality model designed to provide a simplified analysis of flows and constituent concentrations in both tidal and non-tidal water bodies. BASIN is excellent...
Network Analysis for Water Supply Reliability Determination
The availability of water at a point in a distribution network is expressed in terms of the reliabilities of the components which comprise the different paths to the point from the source....
Capacity Expansion of Water Distribution Systems?A Case Study
Capacity expansion and necessary capital improvements to meet the water supply demand for years 1990-2020 for the U. S. Route 1 corridor development from South Brunswick to Princeton,...
Developing a User Friendly System for Water Distribution Management Applications
A hydraulic computer model of a water distribution system that can be updated with current billing (customer meter readings) information automatically. The model was calibrated with field...
Magnitude and Frequency Analysis in Large Rivers
A study of the magnitude and frequency of sediment transport was conducted on the Mississippi River at Natchez, MS, Red River at Alexandria, LA, and Pearl River at Bogalusa, LA. The individual...
Effects of Reservoir Regulation on Channel Morphology
A case study is presented in which such a multidisciplinary approach was used to evaluate the impacts of regulated outflows from the recently completed Warm Springs Dam Project (Sonoma...
Calculating Runaway Pressure Surges in Small Hydro Units
Determination of the runaway speed and concomitant pressure surges requires consideration of both the turbine rotodynamics and the waterhammer equations. In this paper a simplified method...
Depleted Uranium Migration in Stream Bedload Environment
The objective of this paper is to present results of a comprehensive hydrologic transport study, designed to assess potential surface water contamination, resulting from the release of...
