Although empirical mode decomposition (EMD) was developed to analyze nonlinear and non-stationary data in the beginning, the purpose of this study is to propose a new method—based on EMD—to synthesize and generate data which be interfered with the non-stationary problems. While using EMD to decompose flow record, the intrinsic mode functions and residue of a given record can be re-arranged and re-combined to generate synthetic time series with the same period. Next, the new synthetic and historical flow data will be used to simulate the water supply system of Hushan reservoir, and explore the difference between the newly synthetic and historical flow data for each goal in the water supply system of Hushan reservoir. Compared the historical flow with the synthetic data generated by EMD, the synthetic data is similar to the historical flow distribution overall. The flow during dry season changes in significantly (±0.78 m3/s); however, the flow distribution during wet season varies significantly (±0.63 m3/s). There are two analytic scenarios for demand. For Scenario I, without supporting industrial demand, the simulation results of the generation data of Method I and II show that both are more severe than the current condition, the shortage index of each method is between 0.67–1.96 but are acceptable. For Scenario II, no matter in which way the synthesis flow is simulated, supporting industrial demand will seriously affect the equity of domestic demand, the shortage index of each method is between 1.203 and 2.12.

Purpose. Reconstruction of water supply systems to meet the increased water needs of consumers is a complex, time-consuming and expensive task. Reconstruction options include expanding existing water intakes or building new ones anywhere in the existing water supply network. The variety of options is accompanied by changes in water consumption in the sections of the networks and, importantly, in the flow distribution. The introduction of additional sources into the existing water supply systems requires a detailed study of the factors affecting the technical characteristics of the systems and responsible for the economic component of the project. Methodology. The influence of the determining factors on the total head losses in the water distribution network during the reconstruction of the water supply system is analyzed. An algorithm for finding the optimal network points for connecting an additional power source is proposed, which includes determining the optimal flow distribution and the corresponding technical changes for each selected option; total capacity of pumping stations and heads; analysis of the complete set of the water supply system of the accepted options; an economic analysis of the construction investment and operating costs that will accompany the operation of the water supply system design options. Findings. The choice of the optimal connection points for additional power sources depends on the amount of water flow in the network sections and the flow distribution. It is shown that the nodes of the end sections of the network most correspond to the conditions for searching for optimal points and can be fed from different directions, depending on the amount of additional flow. With an additional water flow rate no more than two nodal flow rates, the total head losses in the network sections are minimal. When an additional flow rate of more than two nodal flows enters the final node, an increase in head losses is observed, which can have critical values depending on its increase. The introduction of additional water flows into the network, which exceed two nodal ones, requires the use of intermediate network nodes located at sections with a higher throughput as connection points. Originality. The analysis of the factors influencing the choice of points of connection of additional power sources of the water supply network during its expansion is carried out. The analysis of the points was carried out with limited ranges of the values of water consumption of additional feeding − less and equal to the nodal ones, two and three times larger than the nodal ones. The ways of finding the optimal option for choosing a network node as a point of connection of additional power are shown. Practical value. The use of the analysis results will make it possible to most effectively search for the optimal variant of reconstruction of water supply systems, take into account the influence of determining factors on the characteristics of networks with changes in water consumption and flow distribution. The use of the analysis results will make it possible to most effectively search for the optimal variant of reconstruction of water supply systems, take into account the influence of determining factors on the characteristics of networks with changes in water consumption and flow distribution.

The presence of some chemical compounds at higher levels than maximum permissible concentrations (MPC) in the drinking water, suggests of water resources pollution. In this paper the following elements were analyzed: total arsenic, cadmium, lead, cooper and zinc. Twelve samples of water from the water supply system from the city of Skopje were examined during one year from three different springs. Also, ten samples of bottled water from three producers from the Macedonian market were tested.The determined average mass concentrations of total As, Cd(II), Pb(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II) in the analyzed water samples from the water supply system are 1.35 μg/l, 0.06 μg/l, 0.6 μg/l, 0.9 μg/l and 1,12 μg/l, respectively, and for the tested bottled water, the mean values ranges from 0.56 - 0.83 μg total As / l, 0.053 - 0.056 μg Cd(II)/l, 0.51 - 0.54 μg Pb(II)/l , 0.6 - 0.87 μg Cu(II)/l and 0.68 - 0.8 μg Zn(II)/l water.The following instrumental analytical methods and techniques were used for the analysis of the tested samples of drinking water: flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS), atomic absorption spectroscopy with hydride cеll, electrothermal atomic absorption spectroscopy.The obtained results are shown in tables and graphic form. According to the obtained results a comparative analysis was carried out indicate that it is a water of good quality that can be used in different branches of the process industry.The obtained results in this paper do not exceed the values of the MPC of the Republic of Macedonia prescribed by the legal regulations for the drinking water, which confirm the health safety of the drinking water from the water supply system in the city of Skopje and the packed waters from the Macedonian market in relation to the tested elements.

The Kafr El Sheikh Water Supply Project is a comprehensive endeavour to provide the physical and institutional resources for an effective and sustainable water supply system for 2 million persons in a developing rural Governorate in the Delta region of Egypt. The paper describes the aims of the Management Component, the institutional development of an integrated water supply and sewerage company and the main activities to-date. These include training, operational improvements, health education and finance development. Further support is required until all engineering and institutional development work has been completed.

Работа посвящена системному анализу данных показателей исходной воды при производстве питьевой воды в системе центрального водоснабжения крупного населенного пункта. На сегодняшний день на фоне увеличивающегося негативного антропогенного воздействия на окружающую среду наблюдается ухудшение состояния многих источников питьевого водоснабжения в широком спектре показателей, в частности, таких как органолептические свойства воды. Как следствие, возникает проблема и для питьевой воды. В работе приводится процесс подготовки данных о параметрах исходной воды, забираемой из водохранилища, которые ежемесячно (с 2002 по 2014 год) учитывались на предприятии при дезодорации воды. Приведенные параметры оказывают существенное влияние на органолептические свойства конечной воды. Подготовка данных для анализа проводится методом главных компонент К. Пирсона. Данные, полученные в пространстве R9, переводятся в пространство меньшей размерности R3. Понижение размерности позволяет снизить автокорреляцию между компонентами. Отбор компонент в пространство R3 проводится по правилу Парето. В пространстве R3 методом сферической кластеризации данных «Форель» с постоянным радиусом группировки проводится кластеризация. Приводится пошаговое визуальное представление алгоритма кластеризации в пространстве R3. В работе показано, что в данных показателях качества исходной воды имеются кластеры. Проводится корреляционно-регрессионный анализ данных, представленных в главных компонентах. Строятся регрессионные зависимости показателей органолептических свойств от главных компонент из пространства R3.
