Uncertainties in Water Distribution Systems
Publication: Journal of the Hydraulics Division
Volume 107, Issue 10
Abstract
Water distribution networks require a major share of the capital investment of water works. As a result, over the years the analysis of water distribution networks has been the interest of many researchers. While these activities resulted in the development of general computer programs which can handle the analysis of a large network in a matter of seconds at nominal cost, in contrast, little work has been done on the uncertainties associated with the analysis of water distribution networks. Hudson (6) states that Unfortunately the design of water distribution systems, based on poor data, looks just as good in the computer printout as a design based on the most accurate data that can be obtained.
