Abstract
This study is to make a comparison between the node method and the pipeline method for the analysis of the water distribution systems. For these purposes, the two methods were applied to a pipeline system in series, an artificial distribution network and a real distribution network. The results are as follows. 1. The difference between the results of the two methods was increased with the increase of the hydraulic gradient and the length between two adjacent nodes. 2. When all pipe lengths between two adjacent nodes were larger than 200~300m and have the steep hydraulic gradient, it was found that the results of the two methods showed high differences. 3. The difference between the results of the two methods were negligible in the case of the real distribution system in which only 12% whole pipelines were longer than 30m and the longest pipe length was 850m.
