First evaluation of new design concepts for self-cleaning distribution networks

Abstract: Ten years of joint research on the nature and causes of discoloured water has resulted in guidelines for the implementation of self-cleaning distribution networks. These were first introduced in the Netherlands in 1999. The self-cleaning concept has been monitored right from its beginnings. Based on this evaluation, significant observations were found on the contribution of changes in flow velocity to the self-cleaning characteristics of pipes. These observations will be further investigated and will form the … Show more

“…This characteristic of the allocation of diameters to pipes plays in favor of a correct hydraulic operation of the network and has a beneficial effect on water quality, see, e.g., the discussion in [121]. This is depicted in Figure 7.3 where the size of each diameter is proportional to the thickness of the arc 5 .…”

“…A concept of creating a self-cleaning distribution system is presented in [366]. It is proposed to maintain a constant water flow velocity at a level of 0.4 m/s which is sufficient for a daily removal of deposits from a distribution system.…”
