Improving the Reliability of the Water Supply Network by Redundancing its Elements
Abstract: According to regulatory documents [3, 4], the decrease in the amount of supplied water should not be more than 30 % of the estimated amount during the time period depending on the category of the city. As the service life increases, water network failures occur more often, there are cases where the complexity of an emergency situation entails a complete cessation of water supply through individual pipelines due to the configuration of the network. In each accident, economic costs appear not only for repairs, but also from associated losses due to a forced decrease in water supplied to subscribers. In this regard, the article considers the issues of water supply network redundancy by laying a pipelines with additional useful cross section and by creating additional loops on the network. It is worth noting that both methods carry additional resource costs, and they must be applied from the conditions of the balance between capital costs and reducing risks from losses during network operation, due to improving its reliability through redundancy.
Keywords: water supply network, reliability, diameters of pipelines, water flow rate.
