Addressing water incidents by using pipe network models

Author: Yoyo, Sonwabiso ; Page, Philip R ; Zulu, S’Bonelo ; A’Bear, Frances Date: May 2016 It is now widely accepted that, although infrastructure problems in the electricity sector are currently the demanding crisis in South Africa, another commanding crisis looms on the medium-term horizon: deteriorating water infrastructure, and ...

The benefits of remote real-time pressure control in water distribution systems

Author: Page, Philip R Date: Nov 2018 The additional benefit of a recent highly optimal technique which keeps the pressure low and constant at a remote location, above the conventional technique, is discussed. The former technique is called remote real-time control (RRTC). The ... Read more
Deriving nearshore wave climate along South African coast

Author: Rossouw, M ; Rautenbach, C ; Page, Philip R ; Harribhai, Jatin Date: Apr 2015 The present study addressed aspects of the highly interrelated study area of coastal safety and vulnerability, climate change and setback lines for South African coast. A medium resolution numerical wave analysis was undertaken, in the form ... Read more
Real-time dynamic hydraulic model for potable water loss reduction

Author: Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI ; Hamama, Y ; Page, Philip R ; Djouani, K ; Kurien, A Date: Aug 2016 South Africa is a water scarce country with limited water resources and steadily growing water demand. Unacceptably high water losses and non-revenue water threaten our water resource security as well as the financial viability of municipal ... Read more
Real-time dynamic hydraulic model for water distribution networks: steady state modelling

Author: Osman, Muhammad S ; Yoyo, S ; Page, Philip R ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI Date: Sep 2016 It is known that South Africa is a water scarce country which has been recently been experiencing erratic weather conditions resulting in a constrained water supply. Renewed focus has been placed on water conservation. This study seeks to ... Read more
Robustness of parameter-less remote real-time pressure control in water distribution systems

Author: Page, Philip R ; Abu-Mahfouz, Adnan MI ; Piller, O ; Mothetha, Matome L ; Osman, Muhammad S Date: Jun 2017 One 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
Smart optimisation and sensitivity analysis in water distribution systems

Author: Page, Philip R Date: Dec 2015 Parameter uncertainty in water pipe network models are studied using newly developed simplified mathematical notions. These enable studies to be done using public domain software, including EPANET. The results obtained can be easier to use ... Read more
