introduction: corrosion and scaling of water in distribution systems in spite of imposing economic and aesthetic problems can lead to adverse effects on consumers' health. the present study was conducted to evaluate the corrosion and scaling of water distribution system of sarableh city (ilam, iran) during summer and winter seasons in 2014. materials and methods: totally, 60 samples of wat...

based on langelier, corrosion index of water in the distribution system was balanced. shadegan is a city and the capital of shadegan county in khuzestan province, iran. it has an area of 3197 m2 and located 84 km south of ahvaz. water distribution system serves 70,000 people in the city and the total consumed drinking water is 28525 m3per day (3,4).this descriptive, cross sectional study examin...

a novel approach to determine optimal sampling locations under parameter uncertainty in a water distribution system (wds) for the purpose of its hydraulic model calibration is presented. the problem is formulated as a multi-objective optimisation problem under calibration parameter uncertainty. the objectives are to maximise the calibrated model accuracy and to minimise the number of sampling d...

a water distribution network is subjected to various abnormal conditions such as pipe breaks, pump failures, excessive demands etc. in the design period. under such conditions, the network may not be able to meet required demands at desired pressures, and becomes deficient. traditional network analysis assumes nodal demands to be satisfied and available nodal pressures are calculated. however, ...

To assess the influence of storage dynamics and nonlinearities in hydrological connectivity on time-variant stream water ages, we used a new long-term record of daily isotope measurements in precipitation and streamflow to calibrate and test a parsimonious tracer-aided runoff model. This can track tracers and the ages of water fluxes through and between conceptual stores in steeper hillslopes, ...

bamdezh wetland with the geographical coordinates of   north longitude, east latitude and an area of 44 square kilometers, is located in about 40 km northwest of ahvaz and shavur river is the main source of its supply. this wetland is not only a habitat and suitable food source for aquatic and migratory birds, but as well a significant resource of income for the locals. today, with the arrival ...

the performance of water flooding can be investigated by using either detail numerical modeling or simulation, or simply through the analytical buckley-leverett (bl) model. the buckley-leverett analytical technique can be applied to one-dimensional homogeneous systems. in this paper, the impact of heterogeneity on water flooding performance and fractional flow curve is investigated. first, a ba...

since the surface water is one of the main potable water resources, the usage of chlorine as a disinfectant has increased. consequently the production rate of disinfection by-products (dbps) such as trihalomethane (thm) compounds has grown dramatically. in this paper the thms concentration changes in the sangar water treatment plant (swtp) and rasht water distribution system (rwds) is presented...

Maintaining water quality in distribution systems has become a prominent issue in the study of water networks. This thesis concentrates on disinfectant and particle counts as two important indicators of water quality. The models discussed in this work are based on data collected by the author. The experimental set-up and procedure are described and observations of particle counts, particle coun...
