“…In these solutions, the model is run and updated based on measured and collected values. In this manner, hydraulic conditions in the network can be assessed and even predicted realtime (Sunela and Puust, 2015). These solutions use measured values to calibrate and validate hydraulic calculations.…”

Data acquisition and computerised analysis can be used to plan for emergencies related to important pipe networks. The objective of this study is to illustrate how GIS and hydraulic calculations may be used to reduce the impact of unexpected events, such as contamination and physical destruction and train operators for such scenarios. A case study with calibrated hydraulic calculations is used to investigate the uncertainty of the obtained information. Hydraulic conditions and contaminant transport are simulated with open source software. It is shown how GIS analysis can be utilised to find optimal solutions for flow redirection problems and shutting off portions of the network. A control system integrated network hydraulic simulation solution is described in order to make training and preparation more efficient. The investigation revealed serious deficiencies regarding the necessary input for running simulations. Contaminant transport results indicated that localisation based on computed water quality models is possible, but contains uncertainties. Data processing and simulation are shown to be a promising tool in decision support and preparation based on the applications outlined. Despite advanced databases and computerised analysis tools, collected data and dynamic simulation are not utilised to their full potential in the process of planning for emergencies. Based on the hypothetical simulation presented, further research and data collection are required to reduce the uncertainty of contaminant transport. For future research, more effort has to be put into developing simulation environments.

“…The large volumes of data generated from real-time control, make the Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) system to be suitable for utilization and processing for real-time data acquisition [8]. Epanet hydraulic extension (RTX) module can be used for the integration of network hydraulic and quality model with SCADA [4]. Also, maintenance plays a significant role in every economic sector because it has a direct influence on performance, product quality, and productivity.…”

Control of water distribution network by Real-Time Monitoring System (RTMS) can play an inerrant role in its management. RTMS could be used to monitor and analyse hydraulic and water quality parameters in a Water Distribution Network (WDN). Besides, the RTMS warns operators on actions such as to stop pumping, to conserve water, and minimise risks when needed. RTMS can also provide many operational benefits (improve water quality, decrease operational costs, reduce customer complaints, reduce water losses, and modelling capability, etc.). For Quality & Maintenance of the distribution network, the concept of Augmented Reality (AR) can be used as a tool to support maintenance task as the Data from the distribution network can be gathered and parsed in real-time. The useful information will be transmitted to the AR device (PC tablet, smartphone, glasses, watch…) through wireless connectivity. This paper aims to introduce the concept of RTMS and AR technology. It provides a review of some RTMS application in the drinking water sector and shows the benefit of the implementation of AR in that environment. Furthermore, this paper attempts to propose how the RTMS and AR can be merged as system architecture and be applied to enhance the quality of the water within the network, the distribution system management, and maintenance of the distribution network

“…Quality of the tests and results of simulations performed with the use of a hydraulic model of the system is closely connected with the precision of mapping of all water supply system facilities, their hydraulic parameters as well as water supply and intake conditions. The following elements decide on the quality of the hydraulic model of the water supply network [7]: -mapping of the water supply system structure, -identification of the water supply system elements, -models of water intake and parameters of the water supply network.…”

Modeling of the loads of water supply networks and their subsequent forecasting is an element necessary for making optimum decisions in the process of planning the development and operation of the water supply networks. The results of this modeling are decisive for the selection of the diameters of the pipelines and their arrangement on the water demand area. This study presents the results of estimation of average values of loads for the selected investment variants. The aim of the article is to present the possibility of simulations and analyses of the geostatistical interpolation methods. Data input in the model regarded the fragment of the real water supply network administered by the Municipal Water and Sewerage Company in Warszawa. Results of the computer analyses for the presented investment variants were related to the operating data of the water supply network and the data on water demand for the years 2014-2017 and 2018-2025. The aim of this paper is to present the advantages of GIS for the water supply systems and to prove that using the appropriate IT system, with provision of proper data processing, may lead to decisions which are optimum in view of the established, often very complex criteria.
