Simulate Rehabilitation Strategies for Water Distribution Systems
Extract time or budget as vectors
Calculate the total costs per year
Rehabilitation strategy: no pipe replacement, repairs only
Model expansion of the network
Model failures of the network
Calculate the (random) cost of a failure
Calculate number of failures per year
creates the initial network
Calculate number of newly built pipes for each year
Returns the number of pipes in service for each year
Rehabilitation strategy: replace pipes with too many failures
Rehabilitation strategy: replace the n pipes with the highest risk
Rehabilitation strategy: replace the n oldest pipes
Rehabilitation strategy: replace n randomly selected pipes
Rehabilitation strategy: replace pipes older than age
Calculate replacement value
Sample a diameter of a new pipe.
Simulate the network for a period of time
Simulate the failures, expansion, rehabilitation, and costs of a netwo...
WaMaSim - Water Management Simulator
The outcome of various rehabilitation strategies for water distribution systems can be modeled with the Water Management Simulator (WaMaSim). Pipe breaks and the corresponding damage and rehabilitation costs are simulated. It is mainly intended to be used as educational tool for the Water Infrastructure Experimental and Computer Laboratory at ETH Zurich, Switzerland.
