3. Preparedness and planning
3.1 Water distribution modelling and security scenarios
The risk assessment and management process also informs the water utility operator about the benefits of using modelling tools and techniques to support preparedness and to develop security-related scenarios affecting the water distribution networks. In this sense, hydraulic simulation models are indispensable tools for drinking water security.
Planning and operation of modern water distribution networks are complex tasks that require a very good understanding of the network hydraulics. Planning for emergency situations needs to be undertaken without causing impact to the live system. For that reason, hydraulic simulation models are used as digital twins of the entire distribution system including pipe...
