Author:Mpiana, LA; Hamam, Y; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MIDate:Sep 2017The increased demands of water and high water losses in the past decade have brought a special attention to Water Distribution Networks. An efficient water distribution utilities management requires an adequate hydraulic modelling of the water ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Yoyo, SonwabisoDate:Sep 2017Reducing pressure in a water distribution system leads to a decrease in water leakage, decreased cracks in pipes, and consumption decreases. Pressure management includes an advanced type called remote real-time control. Here pressure control ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Mothetha, Matome LDate:Aug 2017Low and constant pressure can be maintained throughout a water distribution system by setting the pressure at remote consumer locations and using the pressure to control the speed of a variable speed pump (VSP). The prospect of incorporating ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Yoyo, SDate:Aug 2016Remote real-time control is currently the most advanced form of pressure management. Here the parameters describing pressure control valves (or pumps) are changed in real-time in such a way to provide the most optimal pressure in the water ...Read more
Author:Page, Philip R; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI; Piller, O; Mothetha, Matome L; Osman, Muhammad SDate:Jun 2017One way of reducing water leakage, pipe bursts and water consumption in a water distribution system (WDS) is to manage the pressure to be as low as possible. This can be done by adjusting a pressure control valve (PCV) in real-time in order ...Read more
