Comprehensive Indicator

Appropriate indicators are required to measure the resilience of water supply systems (WSSs). However, it is challenging to identify appropriate indicators since there is no comprehensive database of indicators to measure its resiliency. This study will establish a comprehensive bank of indicators to assist water corporations and decision-makers in selecting appropriate indicators for their particular system. The suggested indicator bank is comprised of three layers such as dimension, attributes, and the number of indicators resulting from 12 different indicator codes that the study has analysed. In addition, this paper presents instructions on how the indicator bank can be used and integrated with water enterprises, enabling decision-makers to pick the relevant indicators. The proposed indicator bank is an exploratory approach that should be validated in a real work setting since resilience is a challenging concept, and WSSs are complex due to their dependencies to other lifelines such as power networks with too many variables that may affect the actual outcomes.

Critical Locations

Water supply systems are under stress due to population increase, climate change, aging infrastructures, terrorist attacks etc. all of which have an impact on the operation of water infrastructures resulting in failures/disruptions. The aim of this research is to evaluate the structural and operational properties of water supply systems together and identify the most critical locations in water networks and evaluate the systems’ functionalities. Graph-based metrics, called the entropic degree, is used to identify the critical locations on different network structures using the flow as a weighting parameter on links. The results would assist authorities, decision-makers in strategic plans for prioritizing and rehabilitating network components, identifying vulnerable locations as well as in enhancing the resilience of future water supply systems.
