The estimation method of economical leakage management target utilized upon planning business for improvement of revenue water ratio in South Korea is presented and applicability of methods developed in this study is assessed through application on site. With a consideration of revenue water ratio in application target area, estimation method of long-term economical leakage management target is applied. Three leakage reduction methods such as replacement of residual aged pipe, leakage investigation and restoration and water pressure management are applied with a consideration of characteristics of site. Due to difficulty of obtaining data, analysis of cost/benefit by leakage reduction methods is performed by applying method of leakages estimation equation among statistical methods. As a result of application, revenue water ratio corresponding to long-term economical leakage management target is 91.6 %.

Planning support systems(PSS) add more advanced spatial analysis functions than Geographic information systems(GIS) and intertemporal functions to the functions of spatial decision support systems(SDSS). This paper reports the continuing development of a PSS providing a framework that facilitates urban planners and civil engineers in conducting coherent deliberations about planning, design and operation & maintenance(O&M) of water-distribution networks for urban growth management. The PSS using dynamic optimization model, modeling-to-generate-alternatives, value engineering(VE) and life-cycle cost(LCC) can generate network alternatives in consideration of initial cost and O&H cost. Users can define alternatives by the direct manipulation of networks or by the manipulation of parameters in the models. The water-distribution network analysis model evaluates the performance of the user-defined alternatives. The PSS can be extended to include the functions of generating sewer network alternatives, combining water-distribution and sewer networks, eventually the function of planning, design and O&H of housing sites. Capacity expansion by the dynamic water-distribution network optimization model using MINLP includes three advantages over capacity expansion using optimal control theory(Kim and Hopkins 1996): 1) finds expansion alternatives including future capacity expansion times, sizes, locations, and pipe types of a water-distribution network provided, 2) has the capabilities to do the capacity expansion of each link spatially and intertemporally, and 3) requires less interaction between models. The modeling using MINLP is limited in addressing the relationship between cost, price, and demand, which the optimal control approach can consider. Strictly speaking, the construction and O&M costs of water-distribution networks influence the price charged for the served water, which in turn influence the. This limitation can be justified in rather small area because price per unit water in the area must be same as that of neighboring area, i.e., the price is determined administratively. Planners and engineers can put emphasis on capacity expansion without consideration of the relationship between cost, price, and demand.

Objectives Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is a powerful tool for assessing exposure in epidemiologic studies. We used GIS to determine the geographic extent of contamination by perfluorooctanoic acid, C8 (PFOA) that was released into the environment from the DuPont Washington Works Facility located in Parkersburg, West Virginia. Methods Paper maps of pipe distribution networks were provided by six local public water districts participating in the community cross-sectional survey, the C8 Health Project. Residential histories were also collected in the survey and geocoded. We integrated the pipe networks and geocoded addresses to determine which addresses were serviced by one of the participating water districts. The GIS-based water district assignment was then compared to the participants' self-reported source of public drinking water. Results There were a total of 151,871 addresses provided by the 48,800 participants of the C8 Health Project that consented to geocoding. We were able to successfully geocode 139,067 (91.6%) addresses, and of these, 118,209 (85.0%) self-reported water sources were confirmed using the GIS-based method of water district assignment. Furthermore, the GIS-based method corrected 20,858 (15.0%) self-reported public drinking water sources. Over half (54%) the participants in the lowest GIS-based exposure group self-reported being in a higher exposed water district. Conclusions Not only were we able to correct erroneous self-reported water sources, we were also able to assign water districts to participants with unknown sources. Without the GIS-based method, the reliance on only self-reported data would have resulted in exposure misclassification.

본 연구에서는 상수관망의 비정상 상태 흐름을 해석하기 위하여 파속조절법을 이용하여 관망해석모형을 개발하였다. 특성선법을 이용한 실제 상수관망에서의 부정류 해석시 다양한 경계조건의 존재로 인해 해석과정이 매우 복잡하게 된다. 이러한 특성선법 해석의 어려움을 극복하고자 보다 간단하고 정확하게 경계조건을 처리할 수 있는 기법을 도입하였고 외부 유출 유량을 직접적으로 해석할 수 있는 방정식을 유도하였다. 또한 유도된 방정식을 이용하여 수격해석 모형을 개발하였으며 모형의 적용성 검토를 위해 여러 가지 외부유출 유량 경계조건을 가진 가상관망 및 26 개 관로를 가진 실제관망에 개발된 모형을 적용하였다. 본 모형의 모의결과는 Karney의 해석결과와 비교되었고 모든 시간대의 유량과 압력들을 잘 일치하고 있었다.

Well planned rehabilitation order of pipes is essential for efficient maintenance and management of Water Distribution Systems. In this study, not only deterioration rate of pipes but also structural and nonstructural failure which causes abnormal condition of WDS is considered to determine rehabilitation order. Probabilistic Neural Network is used for calculating deterioration rate at present and the importance of pipes is computed under structural and nonstructural failure by using Pipe by Pipe Failure Analysis and Effect Index. Utopian Approach, one of the Multi-Criteria Decision Making methods, is used for assessment of final rehabilitation order based on distance measure between utopian point and alternative one. Developed model in this study shows that it gives more reliable results than existing methods considering hydraulic relative importance does in application to real networks. In this point, the newly developed model, which gives advantages over existing models, can make a credible decision and simple application.

상수관망의 수리학적 거동을 해석함에 있어 현재까지 제안된 일반적인 방법은 유량기반 수리해석(Demand Driven Analysis, DDA)과 압력기반 수리해석(Pressure Driven Analysis, PDA)이다. DDA는 상수관망이 정상적으로 운영되는 상태에서 수리해석 결과를 빠르게 제시할 수 있으며, PDA는 관파괴 및 관내 저압력 상태시 DDA 방법으로는 모의할 수 없는 각 절점의 실질적인 공급가능유량을 제시할 수 있다. PDA 수행에 있어 우선적으로 각 절점에서 특정 압력마다 공급가능유량을 산정할 수 있는 관계식(Head-Outflow Relationship, HOR)을 결정해야 한다. 기존 연구들에서는 상수관망을 구성하는 각 절점에서 HOR이 다르고 각 절점의 HOR 검증을 위해서는 현장데이터의 실측이 필요하다고 지적하였다. 또한 다중 관파괴 상황과 같이 수리학적 조건이 변경된 상태에서 각 절점의 HOR 특성을 파악하기 위해서는 모든 절점에 모니터링 시스템이 구축되어 있어야 하는 제약조건이 있다. 본 연구는 실제 상수관망 형태의 모의 상수관망을 제작하여 상수관망의 정상상태 및 현장에서 측정이 어려운 비정상상태 운영조건을 시나리오별로 구성하고 각 조건 하에서 절점들의 압력 및 유량을 실시간으로 확인하였다. 또한 측정된 실험결과와 기존 HOR 관계식을 비교 평가하여 최소 오차 결과를 보이는 HOR을 제시하였으며, 특정 절점에서 다중 관파괴 발생시 HOR 특성을 파악하였다. 이로부터 관파괴 위치가 다르거나 다중 관파괴가 발생하더라도 특정 절점의 압력(수두) 저하에 따른 공급가능유량의 축소 현상은 본래 대상 절점이 가지고 있는 지수함수 형태인 고유한 HOR을 따라 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구에서 실험을 통해 측정한 압력-유량 관계와 기존 HOR 식들을 비교한 결과 최소 오차를 보이는 지수함수 형태의 Wagner 등1)이 제안한 식을 최적의 HOR 관계식으로 제안하며, 해당 식의 지수 m은 3.0으로 적용할 것을 제안한다.

A dynamic water quality model is presented in order to simulate water quality under slowly varying flow conditions over time. To improve numerical accuracy, the proposed model uses a lumped system approach instead of extended period simulation, unlike the other available models. This approach can achieve computational efficiency by assuming liquid and pipe walls to be rigid, unlike the method of characteristics, which has been successfully implemented in rapidly varying flows. The discrete volume method is applied to resolve the advection and reaction terms of the transport equation for water quality constituents in pipes. Numerical applications are implemented to the pipe network examples under steady and unsteady conditions as well as hydraulic and water quality simulations. The numerical results are compared with EPANET2, which is a widely used simulation model for a water distribution system. The model results are in good agreement with EPANET2 for steady-state simulation. However, the hydraulic simulation results under unsteady flows differ from those of EPANET2, which causes a deviation in water quality prediction. The proposed model is expected to be a component of an integrated operation model for a water distribution system if it is combined with a computational model for rapidly varying flows to estimate leakage, pipe roughness, and intensive water quality.
