Leakage in water distribution system causes social and economic losses by direct water loss into the ground, and additional energy demand for water supply. This research suggests a leak detection model of using adaptive Kalman filtering on real-time data of pipe flow. The proposed model takes into account hourly and daily variations of water demand. In addition, the model's prediction accuracy is improved by automatically calibrating the covariance of noise through innovation sequence. The adaptive Kalman filtering shows more accurate result than the existing Kalman method for virtual sine flow data. Then, the model is applied to data from two real district metered area in JE city. It is expected that the proposed model can be an effective tool for operating water supply system through detecting burst leakage and abnormal water usage.

If pipes are damaged in a water distribution network (WDN), adjacent valves are closed to isolate the pipes for repair. Due to the closed valves, parts of WDN are isolated from water supply sources. The isolated area is divided into Intended Isolation Area (IIA) and Unintended Isolation Area (UIA). The IIA occurs by intention to isolate the damaged pipe, while UIA is unintentionally disconnected from the sources due to IIA. Thus, the extension of isolated area and suspended flows are mainly affected by number and location of installed valves in WDN. In this study, optimization models were developed to determine optimal valve locations in WDN. In a single-objective model, total water supply suspension is minimized, while a multi-objective model intends to simultaneously minimize the suspended flow and valve installation cost. Optimal valve placement results obtained from both models were compared and analyzed using a sample application network.

상수도 관망의 수질 관리는 매우 중요한 목표이지만, 2019년도 적수 사태를 비롯하여 여러 수질사고를 경험하고 있다. 이러한 수질 사고는 내부의 각종 부착물 및 침전물들로 인해서 발생하거나 파손된 관로를 통해 외부에서 유입될 수도 있다. 수질 사고는 다양한 경로를 통해 발생할 수 있으며 외부에서의 바이러스 유입의 가능성 역시 늘 존재하고 있다고 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 상수도 관망으로의 잠재적인 바이러스 유입에 따른 위험도 분석 체계를 구현하였으며, 다양한 바이러스 유입에 따른 상수도 관망 위험도의 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 제안한 분석 체계는 상수도 관망의 주요 소독 물질인 염소와 바이러스의 반응을 모의할 수 있도록 EPANET-MSX 모형을 탑재하였으며, 위험도 분석을 위한 QMRA(Quantitative Microbial Risk Assessment)를 적용하였다. 바이러스 유입 시나리오 구축을 위해 상수도 관망 내 유입되거나 인체에 유해 한 영향을 줄 수 있는 바이러스를 우선 선별 하였고, 인체에의 영향 및 염소와의 반응에 대해 정리하였다. 또한 바이러스는 모든 절점에서 유입이 가능한 것으로 가정하였으며, 최악의 상황 모의를 위해 바이러스가 지속적으로 유입되는 시나리오를 구축하였다. 적용 관망은 미국 내 실제 관망 중 반응계수에 대한검토가 완료된 관망으로 선정하였으며, 관망의 구조 및 탱크의 유무에 따라 분류하여 적용한 인자들의 불확실성 및 경향을 파악하기 위한 MCS(Monte Carlo Simulation)를 통해 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 제안한 분석 체계는 향후 수질 사고에 대한 위험도를 최소화할 수 있는 운영에 근거를 제공해 줄 수 있을 것이다.

In this paper important factors in determining improvement priorities for water pipes were categorized into the effects of a pipe failure to entire pipe network and the characteristics of individual pipe. Subsequently, mathematical models that can quantify these factors were developed using the Fuzzy techniques. The effects of a pipe failure to entire pipe network and the characteristics of individual pipe that were estimated byFuzzy techniques were coined as Fuzzy Importance Index and Fuzzy Characteristic Index, respectively. The Fuzzy Characteristic Index was further categorized into Fuzzy Deterioration Index and Fuzzy Difficulty Index. Considerations were given to applying weights to specific factors in the developed model depending on the circumstances of model applications. To provide an example of the methodology an example pipe network, Net3, of the EPANET program was used. The Fuzzy Importance Index (FII) and Fuzzy Deterioration Index (FDI) were calculated for the Net3 network by considering the hydraulic effects of a pipe failure on the entire pipe network and the pipe deterioration as one of the individual pipe characteristics. Subsequently, the improvement priorities of the pipes in the Net3 pipe network were established based on the FII and FDI.

This paper proposes methodologies for analyzing the accuracy of the proportional hazards model in predicting consecutive break times of water mains and estimating the time interval for economical water main replacement. By using the survival functions that are based on the proportional hazards models a criterion for the prediction of the consecutive pipe breaks is determined so that the prediction errors are minimized. The criterion to predict pipe break times are determined as the survival probability of 0.70 and only the models for the third through the seventh break are analyzed to be reliable for predicting break times for the case study pipes. Subsequently, the criterion and the estimated lower and upper bound survival functions of consecutive breaks are used in predicting the lower and upper bounds of the 95% confidence interval of future break times of an example water main. Two General Pipe Break Prediction Models(GPBMs) are estimated for an example pipe using the two series of recorded and predicted lower and upper bound break times. The threshold break rate is coupled with the two GPBMs and solved for time to obtain the economical replacement time interval.

GPR (Ground Penetrating Radar), developed as a technology for geotechnical investigations such as sinkhole exploration, was used limitedly as a method to resolve undetectable lines in underground facility exploration. To improve the accuracy of underground facility data, the government made it possible to explore underground facilities using a non-metallic pipeline probe from July 2022. However, GPR has a problem in that the exploration rate is lowered in the soil with high moisture content, such as soft soil, such as clay layer, and there is a lot of variation in long-term accuracy. In this study, as a way to improve the accuracy of exploration considering the characteristics of GPR and the environment of underground facilities, we propose a GPR exploration method for underground facilities using permittivity constant correction and pattern analysis of GPR image data. Through this study, the accuracy of underground facility exploration and high reproducibility were derived as a result of field verification applying GPR frequency band and heterogeneous GPR.

Studies of optimizing pump operation in water distribution networks (WDN) are receiving spotlight in recent days. However, the water networks are quite complex including thousands of or even tens of thousands of nodes and pipes, thus simulation time is an issue. In some cases, implementing a computer model for pump operation decisions is restrictive due to intensive computation time. To that end, it is necessary to reduce the simulation time of water networks by simplifying the network layout. In this study, WDN skeletonization approaches were suggested and applied to a real water transmission network in South Korea. In skeletonizing the original network, it was constrained to match the water pressure and water age in the same junction locations to maintain the hydraulic and water quality characteristics in the skeletonized network. Using the skeletonization approaches suggested in this study, it is expected to reduce the simulation time of WDN and apply for developing a computer module of WDN real-time optimal operation.

In this study, a model is developed based on Life Cycle Energy Analysis (LCEA) method with Genetic Algorithm (GA) to determine optimal diameter of Water Distribution System (WDS). For hydraulic analysis the EPANET2.0 program is linked with developed model, pipe-aging equation and pipe-breakage equation are built in to developed model to simulate pipe change through life cycle. The model is then applied to two sample WDSs for optimal energy design. After determining optimal diameter for each WDS, the total cost is calculated based on determined diameter and compared with well-known optimal diameter set of each WDS. Results show that optimal energy design of WDSs through the developed model can be an alternative option for optimal design of WDSs for reducing energy with lower in cost.
