Emergency Situations

In this work, the influence of individual sections of the water supply network on the dynamics of nodal heads in emergency operating modes is investigated. During accidents in the network sections, the dynamics of the head changes, the supply of water to the network decreases, areas with insufficient heads are formed. The subject of the analyzed stage of research is the influence of individual sections of the network on the location and size of areas with insufficient head. To determine the influence of individual sections of the network on head dynamics, methods of mathematical modeling of flow distribution in the water supply network, methods of hydraulic calculations of water supply networks were used. The results of studies of formation and change of areas with insufficient head taking into account emergency situations for networks with different structure and configuration are presented. The tasks to be performed by the flow management system at the network design stage are defined. Based on the results of the studies, the water supply conditions were evaluated during the formation of areas of insufficient pressure. Proposed algorithm consists of visualization of network structure, simulation of emergency situations, hydraulic calculations of network in normal and emergency operation modes, determination of actual head in network nodes, clarification of location of control nodes, calculation of required head of pumps in emergency operation mode. The proposed method allows you to determine the priority selection of network sections during its reconstruction and restoration. Modeling and analysis of pressure zones in the network allows you to change the number and location of pressure control units depending on the need. The proposed recommendations on flow management can be implemented in the work of utility dispatch services.

Sustainable Water Supply

Pressure Reducing Valves (PRV) have been widely used as a device to control pressure at nodes in water distribution networks and thus reduce leakages. However, an energy dissipation takes place during PRV operation. Thus, micro-hydropower turbines and, more precisely, Pump As Turbines (PAT) could be used as both leakage control and energy generating devices, thus contributing to a more sustainable water supply network. Studies providing clear guidelines for the determination of the most cost-effective device (PRV or PAT) analysing a wide database and considering all the costs involved, the water saving and the eventual power generation, have not been carried out to date. A model to determine the most cost-effective device has been developed, taking into account the Net Present Value (NPV). The model has been applied to two case studies: A database with 156 PRVs sites located in the UK; and a rural water supply network in Ireland with three PRVs. The application of the model showed that although the investment cost associated to the PRV installation is lower in the majority of cases, the NPV over the lifespan of the PAT is higher than the NPV associated with the PRV operation. Furthermore, the ratio between the NPV and the water saved over the lifespan of the PAT/PRV also offered higher values (from 6% to 29%) for the PAT installation, making PATs a more cost-effective and more sustainable means of pressure control in water distribution networks. Finally, the development of less expensive turbines and/or PATs adapted to work under different flow-head conditions will tip the balance toward the installation of these devices even further.

Comprehensive Study

Some forms of organic matter existing in the water have direct or indirect effects on microbial growth. By the investigation data over drinking water and reclaimed water, we summarized organic limiting factors that may affect the growth of microorganisms and factors affecting these water qualities in the reclaimed water supply network, such as a variety of treatment process and the residual disinfectants. Through its comprehensive study, we want to make a contribution of opinion to control the growth of microorganisms in reclaimed water supply network.

Material Calibration

The practical application of the model of water supply network realized in the program Epanet 2 requires the calibration of the model. The proposed simple calibration procedure, allows for taking into account the changes in resistance caused by the aging process, to be substituted by resistance coefficient K. In order to determine the substitute resistance coefficient K, the fire hydrant flow tests could be used, which allows to determine the aging for a given material. Calibration of the water supply network model is shown on the example of a small urban network in central Poland..
