Abstract

Leakage in water distribution networks (WDN) is still a major concern for water companies. In recent years, the scientific community has dedicated some effort to the leakage calibration issue to obtain accurate models. But leakage modelling implies the use of a pressure-driven approach as well as specific data to define the pressure/leakage relationship. This paper presents the calibration process of a real case study WDN model. The process started with pressure step tests, the model was built in WaterNetGen and the leakage calibration process was performed by a simulated annealing algorithm. As illustrated, after calibration the model was able to produce accurate results.
Keywords: calibration; water losses; leakage; pressure-driven; WaterNetGen; EPANET calibration; water losses; leakage; pressure-driven; WaterNetGen; EPANET
