Iterative LP water system optimal operation including headloss, leakage, total head and source cost
Linear water balance optimal operation models are common with relative short solution times but suffer from a lack of certainty whether the given solution is at all hydraulically feasible. Introducing hydraulic headloss, water leakage and changing pump energy consumption, effect the resulting system optimal operation but also create a non-linear problem due to the convex relation between flow, ...

3D model evolution of a leak based on GPR image interpretation
This paper presents some aspects of the time propagation of underground water leakage in controlled laboratory conditions using a drilled polyvinyl chloride (PVC) pipe and interpreting ground penetrating radar (GPR) images. GPR pre-processed images are interpreted for easy identification and extraction of surfaces and volumes of water leakage. Finally, the temporal evolution of a water leak ...

Leakage–pressure relationship and leakage detection in intermittent water distribution systems
Field investigations were conducted to identify the relationship between leakage rate and pressure in selected areas of the water distribution system of the Holy City of Makkah, Saudi Arabia. Noise correlators were used to detect leaks in areas where the water leakage exceeded 20% of the total water supplied. The leakage rate was found to be related to pressure raised to the nth power. The value ...

Reducing Leakage at South Staffs Water
Here is a compelling video of a highly successful deployment of Enigma3m at South Staffordshire Water. This case study outlines the approach this UK based water company undertook to tackle water leakage in some of their district metered areas (DMAs). They needed to find an effective method to pinpoint leaks more effectively and decided to deploy groups of Enigma3m directly into their problem ...

Assessment of water loss in Harare, Zimbabwe
A major challenge facing water utilities is the high level of water losses, which affects the financial viability and adequacy of water in the system. A study was carried out from January to May 2012 to characterize water losses in selected areas of Harare, Zimbabwe. Assessment of the contribution of water leakage to total water loss was carried out through water audits in four selected ...

What’s Being Done To Detect Water Leaks?
As we all know, water is one of the most precious resources that we have, but it’s all too easy for us to take it for granted, particularly in developed countries where we simply turn on a tap and out it comes. But access to water is coming increasingly under threat around the world, thanks to climate change, urbanisation, population growth, pollution and water mismanagement, and ...

Assessment of variable speed pumps in water distribution systems considering water leakage and transient operations
In this study, the potential economic and hydraulic benefits of utilizing variable speed pumps (VSPs) in water supply systems are reported. A simple water distribution network simulation is carried out by EPANET and Bentley HAMMER models to examine variable speed operation. It was found that using VSPs could control and improve performance of the water distribution systems. Where the ...

Including leakage in network models: an application to calibrate leak valves in EPANET
EPANET is one of the most widely used software packages for water network hydraulic modelling, and is especially interesting for educational and research purposes because it is in the public domain. However, EPANET simulations are demand-driven, and the program does not include a specific functionality to model water leakage, which is pressure-driven. Consequently, users are required to deal ...

South East Water - Learnings from event triangulation - Case Study
The South East Water leakage team came to Syrinix to look at new ways of understanding what was going on within their DMA's The objective from South East Water was to mitigate the impact of transient events and optimise the network, but also detect and understand more about any anomalous activity. This was in support of the recent PR19 submission and SMART network pilot whilst also targeting a ...

Pollution mapping case study
This exploration survey used the cross-hole resistivity method to detect if there was industrial waste water leakage from an industrial waste water process pond. Chemical analyses concluded that this specific waste water has a much lower resistivity than normal water. The figure below shows that the area above 45m is a relatively high resistive zone made of limestone. Below this depth is a ...

Tackling water loss
Water loss through leaks and non-revenue water are a global issue of monumental scale. A 2018 Consumer Council for Water report revealed that in England alone more than three billion litres of water are lost from leaking infrastructure every day, making water leakage the number-one concern for UK water utilities’ customers. Despite significant manpower-driven efforts to reduce leakage, it ...

Thermally induced strains and stresses in cast iron water distribution pipes: an experimental investigation
Full-scale tests have been carried out on lengths of unrestrained and restrained plain and jointed distribution pipe sections (∼4″ or ∼100 mm internal diameter) in order to investigate the strains and loads generated in cast iron water distribution mains as a result of temperature fluctuations. Tests on unrestrained sections enabled the coefficient of thermal expansion of the pipe material to be ...

Flows of nitrogen and phosphorus in municipal waste: a substance flow analysis in Finland
Nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) are two nutrients contributing to several environmental problems, particularly eutrophication of surface waters. Leakages of these nutrients occur through human activity. In this study, the flows of N and P in the Finnish municipal waste system in 1952–1999 were determined and analysed using substance flow analysis (SFA). Nutrient flows in both wastewaters and ...
