It has been widely accepted that the pressure management of water distribution systems using pressure reducing valves(PRVs) would be an effective method for controlling leakages. A pressure reducing valve (PRV) regulates outlet pressure regardless of fluctuating flow and varying inlet pressure, thereby reducing leakage and mitigating the stress on the water distribution system. However, the operation of a PRV is vulnerable to its mechanical condition and hydraulic operability. In this research, the effect of PRVs installed in water distribution system are evaluated in terms of hydraulic pressure reduction and mechanical performance by analyzing measured pressure data with statistical approach. A statistical approach using the moving average filter and frequency analysis based on fourier transform is presented to detect abnormally operated PRVs that have been densely installed in water distribution system. The result shows that the proposed approach can be a good performance evaluation method by simply measuring pressures for the PRVs.

본 연구는 한강의 수질측정망에서 관측된 오염물질별 연평균 오염도를 이용하여 지난 15년 동안 수질오염도의 공간적 분포에 유의한 변화가 발생하였는지를 분석하였다. 구체적으로 각 오염물질별의 비모수적 커널확률밀도함수를 추정하였고, 연도간 유의한 변화가 있는지 검정하였다. 또한 일반화된 엔트로피 계열의 불평등지수를 구하고, 부트스트래핑 기법을 통해 불평등지수의 차이가 유의한지를 검정하였으며, 순위 상관을 이용하여 오염도 순위의 동태적인 측면을 분석하였다. 분석결과 최근 15년 동안 수질오염도의 불균등 정도는 전반적으로 완화되거나 일정한 수준을 유지하였고, 오염도 순위에 동태적인 변화는 거의 일어나지 않은 것으로 나타났다.

The purpose of water distribution system is supplying water to users by maintaining appropriate pressure and water quality. For efficient monitoring of the water distribution system, determination of optimal locations for pressure monitoring is essential. In this study, entropy theory was applied to determine the optimal locations for pressure monitoring. The entropy which is defined as the amount of information was calculated from the pressure change due to the variation of demand reflected the abnormal conditions at nodes, and the emitter function (fire hydrant) was used to reproduce actual pressure change pattern in EPANET. The optimal combination of monitoring points for pressure detection was determined by selecting the nodes receiving maximum information from other nodes using genetic algorithm. The Ozger's and a real network were evaluated using the proposed model. From the results, it was found that the entropy theory can provide general guideline to select the locations of pressure sensors installation for optimal design and monitoring of the water distribution systems. During decision-making phase, optimal combination of monitoring points can be selected by comparing total amount of information at each point especially when there are some constraints of installation such as limitation of available budget.

In this study the Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied to flow data in a water distribution pipe system to analyze the relevance between the flow observation dates, which have the outliers of observed night flows, and the maintenance records. The data was obtained from four small size water distribution blocks to which 13 maintenance records such as pipe leak and water meter leak belong. The flow data during four months were used for the analysis. The analysis was carried out to identify an appropriate analysis period for a PCA model for a water distribution block. To facilitate the analyses a computational algorithm was developed. MATLAB was utilized to realize the algorithm as a computer program. As a result, an appropriate PCA period for each of the case study small size water distribution blocks was identified.

최근 국내 상수도 관리 기술은 고도로 발달하고 있으며, 이 과정에서 상수관망 내 용수공급 현황을 파악하고 예측하기 위한 컴퓨터 수리·수질 해석 모형은 핵심적인 역할을 수행하고 있다. 그러나 대규모 네트워크의 경우 컴퓨터 해석모형의 부담을 가중하고, 특히 짧은 계산시간 간격과 긴 모의 시간이 요구되는 수질해석의 경우, 막대한 계산시간이 소요되어 다양한 수질모의 및 분석이 어려운 경우가 발생한다. 본 연구에서는 대규모 상수관망시스템의 수질해석의 계산효율을 개선하기 위해 상수도 공급계통을 2단계로 계층화한 후, 계층화된 네트워크를 대상으로 수질모의를 수행하는 계층적 수질모의 기법을 제안하였다. 제안된 모의기법은 국내 대규모 상수도 네트워크에 적용하였으며, 다양한 염소투입농도 시나리오에 따른 잔류염소농도의 시공간적 분포를 모의하고 분석한 결과를 제시하였다.

Purpose: This study focuses on exploring ways to improve the distribution method of shrimp farming so that it is eco-friendly and increases the distribution of shrimp. Research design, data and methodology: The experimental device installed in a biofloc shrimp culture in one area tested 10 times. Complex odor, concentration of H2S, water quality improvement effected by decomposition of organic substances, and degree of microbial activation measured. The data of the experimental results verified using the T-test technique, and the p value was determined based on the significance probability of 0.05. Results: This experimental device was effective in reducing odor and hydrogen sulfide in shrimp farms. With the improvement of water quality, dissolved oxygen increased due to the microbubble and cavitation action of air ejector and ultrasonic waves. In addition, the cultured microorganisms in the cultured water treated by the experimental device were remarkably proliferated compared to the raw water. Conclusions: The biofloc distribution method has a significant effect on improving water quality and reducing odor substances and will become a new eco-friendly and efficient distribution method for shrimp farming in the future.

상수관망에서 다양한 제수밸브 분포간의 우열성 평가는 상수관망의 신뢰성 확보를 위해 필수적이다. 기존 상수관망에 새로운 제수밸브를 추가할 경우나 새로운 상수관망을 건설할 경우, 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 제수밸브 분포간의 우열성을 평가하여 좀 더 효율적인 제수밸브 분포를 선택할 수 있는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 방법은 상수관 및 제수밸브의 파괴 모의를 바탕으로 하며 제수밸브 분포간의 우열성은 상수관망의 신뢰도를 기준으로 하였다. 상수관망의 신뢰도는 상수관 파괴당 평균적인 단수인구로 나타내지며 충분한 횟수의 상수관 및 제수밸브 파괴모의를 통해서 산정하였다. 제안된 방법의 적용성을 평가하기 위하여 실제 상수관망을 대상으로 새로운 제수밸브를 추가할 경우 두가지 다른 밸브분포를 결정한 후 우열성을 판별하였다. 또한 다양한 제수밸브 신뢰도에 따른 관파괴당 평균단수인구를 산정하여 제수밸브 신뢰도가 상수관망의 신뢰도 향상에 미치는 영향을 검증하였다.

In this study, we examined the structural analysis of water demand fluctuation for water distribution control of water supply network. In order to analyze for the length of stationary time series, we calculate autocorrelation coefficient of each case equally divided data size. As a result, it was found that, with the data size of around three months, any case could be used as stationary time series. we analyze cross-correlation coefficient between the daily water consumption's data and primary influence factors. As a result, we have decided to use weather conditions and maximum temperature as natural primary factors and holidays as a social factor. Applying the multiple ARIMA model, we obtains an effective model to describe the daily water demand prediction. From the forecasting result, even though we forecast water distribution quantity of the following year, estimated values well express the flctuations of measurements. Thus, the suitability of the model for practical use can be confirmed. When this model is used for practical water distribution control, water distribution quantity for the following day should be found by inputting maximum temperature and weather conditions obtained from weather forecast, and water purification plants and service reservoirs should be operated based on this information while operation of pumps and valves should be set up. Consequently, we will be able to devise a rational water management system.

Waterworks facilities inevitably experience some amount of leakage even if there is a lot of investment or state-of-the-art technology that is applied such as DMA(District Metered Area) system construction, leakage detection, repair, pipe rehabilitation, etc. The primary reason is the leakage is naturally restored over time. In the UK, this restoration characteristic is defined as NRR(Natural rate of rise of leakage) and used to decision making for prioritizing active leakage control of DMAs. However, this restoration characteristic is well recognized, but researches on NRR in the water distribution system are insufficient in Korea. In this study, the estimation method of NRR was developed suitable for applicating in Korea considering of SCADA data, water infrastructure, and water usage patterns by modification of the UK's NRR method. The proposed method was applied to 9 DMAs and verified it's applicability by comparing with the other water loss performance indicators. It is expected that the proposed method can be used to support decision making for sustainable NRW(Nor-revenue water) management in the water distribution system.
