In order to compute pressure variation for a water distribution system, an expression for the friction factor as a function of Reynolds number and the relative roughness needs to be properly incorporated in computational algorithm. Considering Moody s friction variation, Developed Unsteady Network Analyzer (UNA) has been modified to match computational results with EPANET 2.0. Substantial improvement can be found in the application of Improved UNA to both an hypothetical pipeline network and a real system located in Ulsan City. Random number generator is employed to represent the uncertainty of water use in real pipeline network. Comparisons of application between EPANET 2.0 and improved UNA 2.0 indicate advantages and potentials of this approach.
