Pipe breaks and estimating the impact of pressure control in water supply networks

The deterioration and fracture of water supply pipes present a major threat for the continuous provision drinking water. hydraulic pressure in is an influential factor occurrence pipe breaks. However, little evidence has been provided so far quantitative assessment impact control on reducing number In this paper, we applied logistic regression with polynomial terms, sensitivity analysis to assess potential A large dataset historic breaks was used develop validate presented method. Cast iron asbestos cement were examined detail. Results showed that could be decreased by 18% 30% mean investigated cohorts cast pipes. Pressure range reduction provide larger impacts both materials. These results indicate proactively controlling may have potentially significant reliability sustainability networks.
