Abstract
Skeletonization is the process of representing a water distribution system by selected pipes. Historically, skeletonization was the norm and was dictated by limitations of the computer models or the resources available to develop the network representation. With the advent of more powerful models and data handling techniques, skeletonization is no longer essential but becomes a trade-off between the potentially greater accuracy that can be achieved with more detailed networks and the costs associated with data gathering, network building, output analysis and longer computer run times associated with the more detailed representations. In this paper, accuracy, use, cost, parameterization, and calibration issues associated with skeletonization are discussed. A case study is presented in which four different levels of skeletonization are modeled.
