Using Data

Abstract Over a dozen studies have examined how households who travel to collect water (about one-quarter of humanity) make choices about where and how much to collect. There is little evidence, however, that these studies have informed rural water supply planning in anything but a qualitative way. In this paper, we describe a new web-based decision support tool that planners or community members can use to simulate scenarios such as (1) price, quality, or placement changes of existing sources, (2) the closure of an existing source, or (3) the addition of a new source. We describe the analytical structure of the model and then demonstrate its possibilities using data from a recent study in rural Meru County, Kenya. We discuss some limits of the current model, and encourage readers and practitioners to explore it and suggest ways in which it could be improved or used most effectively.

Transformation Processes

Predicted demographic, climatic and socio-economic changes will require adaptations of existing water supply and wastewater disposal systems. Especially in rural areas, these new challenges will affect the functionality of the present systems. This paper presents a joint interdisciplinary research project with the objective of developing an innovative software-based optimization and decision support system for the implementation of long-term transformations of existing infrastructures of water supply, wastewater and energy. The concept of the decision support and optimization tool is described and visualization methods for the presentation of results are illustrated. The model is tested in a rural case study region in the Southwest of Germany. A transformation strategy for a decentralized wastewater treatment concept and its visualization are presented for a model village.

Urban water supply pipeline emergency accident in such aspects as occurrence, development and evolution is uncertain, it is necessary for different stages of emergency situation carries on the scientific assessment, decision support systems to aid decision making. Based on auxiliary decision-making problems in DSS, research its key technologies. First of all, from the knowledge acquisition, interpretation, presentation and reasoning of DSS system structure research; Then the FCR reasoning algorithm, through the fuzzy knowledge reasoning rules, cases, fuzzy knowledge reasoning part done between different library calls and internal reasoning to solve; Finally, the system development of the MVC architecture, and expounds its advantages. The study content of this paper to form a relatively complete city operation and management system, to deal with emergencies ability to water supply network, raise the scientific nature of the emergency management system is of great significance.
