Modelling and Calibration of Water Distribution Systems . A New GIS Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
GIS is becoming an essential tool for utility companies, especially water companies, which have found an excellent way to manage and assess their assets. This paper presents an ArcView® GIS extension called GISRed, which is a customized application oriented to the task of water network modelling. GISRed is capable of simulating, analyzing and retrieving the actual network status under certain conditions using an integration of the widely used EPANET engine. In addition to this, a new functionality has been developed to allow the final user to calibrate the network model by means of a genetic algorithm module which works seamlessly along with the extension. The final result is a full calibrated water network model derived from the GIS database and ready to be used in decision making issues.

Modelling bryophytes distribution pattern using environmental parameters of Iran in Geographical Information Systems (GIS): a case study of three genera Tortula, Grimmia and Bryum (Bryophyta)
In the present study, a modelling approach based on Geographical Information Systems (GIS) analysis is presented with the aim of identifying the influence of environmental parameters on three genera, namely, Tortula, Grimmia and Bryum as representatives of Iranian bryoflora. By using ArcGIS Desktop, we produced a model for environmental variables include altitude, precipitation, temperature and...
متن کاملRetrieval–travel-time model for free-fall-flow-rack automated storage and retrieval system
Automated storage and retrieval systems (AS/RSs) are material handling systems that are frequently used in manufacturing and distribution centers. The modelling of the retrieval–travel time of an AS/RS (expected product delivery time) is practically important, because it allows us to evaluate and improve the system throughput. The free-fall-flow-rack AS/RS has emerged as a new technology for dr...
متن کاملA Robust Feedforward Active Noise Control System with a Variable Step-Size FxLMS Algorithm: Designing a New Online Secondary Path Modelling Method
Several approaches have been introduced in literature for active noise control (ANC)systems. Since Filtered-x-Least Mean Square (FxLMS) algorithm appears to be the best choice as acontroller filter. Researchers tend to improve performance of ANC systems by enhancing andmodifying this algorithm. This paper proposes a new version of FxLMS algorithm. In many ANCapplications an online secondary pat...
متن کاملA GIS based spatial decision support system for modelling contaminant intrusion into water distribution systems
The paper presents a GIS based spatial decision support system for modelling contaminant intrusion into water distribution system. Three models have been developed to simulate the process and risk of contamination. A seepage model predicts the contaminant zone of pollution sources and the change of concentration during migration through soil. A pipe condition assessment model ranks the conditio...
متن کاملSynthesis and Experimental-Modelling Evaluation of Nanoparticles Movements by Novel Surfactant on Water Injection: An Approach on Mechanical Formation Damage Control and Pore Size Distribution
Water injection is used as a widespread IOR/EOR method and promising formation damages (especially mechanical ones) is a crucial challenge in the near-wellbore of injection wells. The magnesium oxide (MgO) NanoParticles (NPs) considered in the article underwater flooding experiment tests to monitor the promising mechanical formation damage (size exclusion) in lab mechanistic scale include m...
