Abrupt Events and the Global Supply Network: A Network Measure for Cascading Production Losses

Local production losses caused by unanticipated catastrophic events such as extreme weather, earthquakes and terror attacks entail a high risk of being spread through the globalised supply network thereby affecting many economies. As a contribution to the assessment of the supply network vulnerability to these events, we provide a novel measure for the propagation of production losses. It is in...

Calculation of Leakage in Water Supply Network Based on Blind Source Separation Theory

The economic and environmental losses due to serious leakage in the urban water supply network have increased the effort to control the water leakage. However, current methods for leakage estimation are inaccurate leading to the development of ineffective leakage controls. Therefore, this study proposes a method based on the blind source separation theory (BSS) to calculate the leakage of water...

Optimizing the dammed: water supply losses and fish habitat gains from dam removal in California.

Dams provide water supply, flood protection, and hydropower generation benefits, but also harm native species by altering the natural flow regime and degrading aquatic and riparian habitat. Restoring some rivers reaches to free-flowing conditions may restore substantial environmental benefits, but at some economic cost. This study uses a systems analysis approach to preliminarily evaluate remov...

performance of water supply networks under water hammer phenomenon based on sustainability coefficient (case study: feridonshahr water supply network)

sustainability of water supply networks should be based on the risks of water hammer phenomenon. the purpose of this study is to provide a new approach to the analysis of water hammer phenomenon in the water supply network. by conventional methods, the damage because of water hammer is estimated based on the maximum pressure at nodes. however, during this phenomenon continuation and changing of...
