Measuring Topological and Operational Resilience and Recovery of Water Networks for Planning and Management
Publication: World Environmental and Water Resources Congress 2018: Hydraulics and Waterways, Water Distribution Systems Analysis, and Smart Water
ABSTRACT
Resilience for water distribution systems is defined as the capability of restoring all operational functions and delivering safe drinking water in a fast manner after major disruptions. The challenge with resilience planning is quantifying it for water networks. Although there are resilience evaluation methods focusing on different dimensions of resilience, there are no metrics to evaluate systems’ operational resilience and recovery in relation to structural properties. The aim of this research is to develop a method that evaluates the rapidity dimension of operational resilience for water networks. The robust operation ranges are incorporated as the measure of performance parameters. The overall systems’ resilience is evaluated simulating disruptions (i.e., excess demands) on critical locations and observing the recovery of water networks. This approach can be used in a decision-making process to assist authorities and decision makers in developing planning and management strategies, and enhancing the resilience of water infrastructure systems.
