Accurate water demand spatial allocation for water networks modelling using a new approach
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2015)The paper presents an alternative approach regarding the spatial allocation of the actual water demand (at node level) when developing a pipe network's hydraulic simulation model. The process takes into account the respective ... -
Applying pressure management to reduce water losses in two greek cities' WDSs: Expectations, problems, results and revisions
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2014)An overall pressure management project applied in two (Kos and Kozani) different water distribution systems in Greece is presented. The two Water Utilities developed a pressure management strategy. In both cases, Watergems ... -
Assessing the results of a virtual pressure management project applied in Kos Town water distribution network
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2015)Water pressure management (PM) is one of the most cost-effective ways for a water utility to reduce water leakage, pipes’ bursts, improve the level of services provided to its customers and lower its operating expenses. ... -
Developing a methodology towards full water cost recovery in urban water pipe networks, based on the "user-pays" principle
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2014)In the present paper, using an urban water supply and distribution system as a case study (city of Kozani, Greece), the components of the full water cost (direct-DC; environmental-EC; resource-RC) are analysed, introducing ... -
Forecasting the residential water demand, balancing full water cost pricing and non-revenue water reduction policies
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2014)The paper examines the factors that determine the residential water demand level in the city of Kozani located in the NW part of Greece. Based on an 8-year (2005-12) detailed sample of residential water demand time panel ... -
Non-revenue water reduction through pressure management in Kozani’s water distribution network: from theory to practice
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2015)During the last few years, many water utilities are facing difficulties with the high non-revenue water (NRW) levels. Among the NRW management strategies, water pressure management (PM) is the most popular towards the goals ... -
The optimal balance point between NRW reduction measures, full water costing and water pricing in water distribution systems. Alternative scenarios forecasting the Kozani's WDS optimal balance point
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2015)The paper summarizes the final outcome of a study that lasted three years and deals with NRW reduction measures, the FWC integration in water price and the consumers' response to water price changes. Each term of the above ... -
Properly allocating the urban water meter readings to the nodes of a water pipe network simulation model
Kanakoudis, V.; Gonelas, K. (2015)This paper presents an alternative approach regarding the spatial allocation of the actual water demand when developing the hydraulic simulation model of an urban water pipe network. This approach can be applied in cases ...
