Water Supply Networks - performance modelling and assessment

Performance modelling and assessment of Water Supply System (WSS) is a critical activity in system management process. It contributes into producing indicators necessary for the optimisation of the system operation, maintenance, safety, and resources use. The Water Supply Network (WSN) is a major component of any WSS. Assessing the performance of the WSN requires the development of dynamic-probabilistic models and the use of performance notions that are beyond the local availability and reliability of a cluster of pipes (mains, connections, and distributions) or nodes. The proposed performance notions are fully described in terms of performance-levels. The proposed modelling scheme is applied on a real WSN that has slightly been modified to preserve the didactic quality of the chapter and render the modelling scheme accessible at its first uses. Once the use of the scheme is mastered, its exploitation for real and complex WSN is straight forward.
