In this study, I suggest an effective operation of waterwork facilities in large cities and a scientific method for utilizing water in water distribution systems. To achieve this goal, my simulation were carried out on data from Kwangju City using Pipenet '98, a pipe-network program. From this simulation, I examine the possibilities of application the system in large cities, comparing data measured at 33 hydraulic pressure monitoring places from waterwork enterprises. The result is coincident with that of waterwork enterprises, with about a 12.5% average error rate and $0.32kg/cm^2$ average deviation. The method and program I use here can be helpful in cities where there is a need to extend the waterwork facilities, or where there is a need to suspend the water supply, and/or there is an accident. The simulation shows how to expand waterwork facilities effectively, how to prevent accidents, and how to estimate the hydraulic pressure even in the areas without monitoring places.

Water transmission and distribution systems play a important role to deliver safe and clean water and are responsible for the most direct impacts of water utilities to customers. Although the performance of WDS(Water Distribution Systems) should be evaluated by a certain standards, interests has not been in WDS and developed due to invisible, hard-working and insufficient information in the evaluation process in Korea till now. The investigations and researches were carried out to develop software to assist the evaluation of WDS with respects to hydraulics, water quality and structural analysis methods. The methodologies have been developed which can be used to estimate the performance to water distribution network and software are implemented by the process. Developed systems are consisted with database, analysis techniques, simulation models, decision support systems and other tools. The concepts and functions are introduced in this paper and the performance index are discussed for accurate assessment of water distribution systems.

As an alternative measure to replace reactive stance with proactive one, a risk based management scheme has been commonly applied to enhance public satisfaction on water service by providing a higher creditable solution to handle a rehabilitation problem of pipe having high potential risk of leaks. This study intended to examine the feasibility of a simulation model to predict a recurrence probability of pipe leaks. As a branch of the data mining technique, probabilistic neural network (PNN) algorithm was applied to infer the extent of leaking recurrence probability of water network. PNN model could classify the leaking level of each unit segment of the pipe network. Pipe material, diameter, C value, road width, pressure, installation age as input variable and 5 classes by pipe leaking probability as output variable were built in PNN model. The study results indicated that it is important to pay higher attention to the pipe segment with the leak record. By increase the hydraulic pipe pressure to meet the required water demand from each node, simulation results indicated that about 6.9% of total number of pipe would additionally be classified into higher class of recurrence risk than present as the reference year. Consequently, it was convinced that the application of PNN model incorporated with a data base management system of pipe network to manage municipal water distribution network could make a promise to enhance the management efficiency by providing the essential knowledge for decision making rehabilitation of network.

상수도 관망은 상수도 운용시스템에서 가장 중요한 부분이다. 그러므로 항상 수요자의 필요에 부응하는 충분한 수량과 좋은 수질로 공급할 수 있도록 적정한 압력 유지와 수량 확보가 되도록 유지 관리 되어야 한다. 이를 위해서는 상수도 관망의 합리적인 해석과 최적의 설계를 통해 수요자가 필요로 하는 양질의 물을 원활히 공급하고 재원의 낭비를 줄여야 한다. 그러나 우리나라의 많은 대도시들의 경우처럼 특히 상수도 시설이 거대해 지고 급수구역이 광범위하며 복잡한 배수시설을 가지고 있는 지역에 있어서는 모든 현상을 정확하게 파악하고 유지관리하기가 매우 어렵게 되므로 운영관리상 많은 문제점이 발생하게 된다. 이러한 문제점에 보다 효율적으로 대처하기 위해서는 가장 기본적으로 현재의 상수도 시설에 대한 수리적 상태를 파악하여야 한다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 대도시 상수도 시설의 효율적 운영 및 확장에 기본이 되는 현재의 상수도 시설에 대한 시설현황, 운영, 수리상태를 파악 하고, 밸브의 개폐에 따른 수리학적 특성 변화를 제시하고자 하였다. 관망 해석에 필요한 입력 자료는 실제 운영되고 있는 광주광역시의 상수도 급배수 관망 시설을 대상으로 산출 하였고 관망해석 프로그램인 Pipenet 98을 이용하여 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 본 논문에서 대상 구역에 대해 수리적 특성 변화를 모의한 결과 상수 관로내의 밸브 개폐도를 $100\%$ 유지시켰을 때 평균 수압은 $4.4kg/cm^2$으로 나타났으며 밸브 개폐도 $80\%$일 때의 평균 수압 $4.7kg/cm^2$, 밸브 개폐도 $60\%$일 때의 평균 수압은 $4.69kg/cm^2$으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐도가 $100\%$일 때가 밸브를 $60\%$와 $80\%$ 개폐시켰을 때보다 $0.3kg/cm^2,\;0.29kg/cm^2$ 낮게 나타나 밸브를 전체 개방 했을 때 관로내의 수압이 상수설계기준에 적합한 수압을 유지함을 알 수 있다. 상수관로 설계 기준에서는 관로내 수압을 $1.5\~4.0kg/cm^2$으로 나타내고 있는데 $6kg/cm^2$보다 과수압을 나타내는 경우가 $100\%$로 밸브를 개방하였을 때보다 $60\%,\;80\%$ 개방하였을 때가 더 빈번히 발생하고 있으므로 대상지역의 밸브 개폐는 $100\%$ 개방하는 것이 선계기준에 적합한 것으로 나타났다. 밸브 개폐에 따른 수압 변화를 모의한 결과 밸브 개폐도를 적절히 유지하여 필요수량의 확보 및 누수방지대책에 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

As the regulations on DBPs are tightened, many water treatment plants (WTPs) in Korea have already introduced or will introduce enhanced coagulation, alternative disinfectants and advanced treatments such as ozonization and granular activated carbon to improve drinking water qualify. After a phenol leakage accident at the Nakdong-River in 1991, 26 WIPs in Korea introduced carbon dioxide generators, but there has been no accumulation of significant operating data. This research summarizes things that should be considered for the introduction of carbon dioxide disinfection process to WTPs based on one year operation data from A WTP that has had high concentration of DBP during a specific period in the summer. The removal efficiency of DBP was $30{\sim}40%$, but those of 2-MIB, Geosmin were less than 10%. The generation rate of $ClO_2$ by-products such as chlorite and chlorate were $70{\sim}100%$ of input dosage, but the ratios increased over time. At the same time, strong chlorine odors may be produced in the distribution system when $ClO_2$ was used with $Cl_2$ as a result of reaction between the chlorite and residual chlorine.
