In this paper a method for optimal placement of isolation valves in water distribution systems is presented. These valves serve to isolate parts of the network (segments) containing one or more pipes on which maintenance work can be performed without disrupting service in the entire network or...

In this study, attention is initially focussed on modelling finely sampled (1 min) residential water demand time series. Subsequently, the possibility of simulating the water demand time series relevant to different time intervals and many users is analysed by using an aggregation approach. A...
