Reliability Analysis of Regional Water Distribution Systems–A Case Study
Author: Avi OstfeldAuthor Affiliations
Publication: Building Partnerships
Abstract
Reliability analysis water distribution systems is a complex task. It requires both the quantification of reliability measures and criteria that are meaningful and appropriate, while still being computationally feasible. This paper focuses on a tailor-made reliability methodology for the assessment of regional water distribution systems in general, and its application to the regional water supply systems of Nazareth in particular. The methodology is comprised of two interconnected stages: (1) analysis of the storage — conveyance properties of the system, and (2) implementation of stochastic simulation through use of the US Airforce Rapid Availability Prototyping for Testing Operational Readiness (RAPTOR) software.
