Pipe Networks Risk Assessment Based on Survival Analysis
Tsitsifli, S.; Kanakoudis, V.; Bakouros, I. (2011)Integrated management of pipe networks should include methods for monitoring, repairing and replacing deteriorating components (usually pipes), but also methods and everyday operating practices towards a proactive risk ... -
Predicting the behavior of a pipe network using the "critical Z-score" as its performance indicator
Tsitsifli, S.; Kanakoudis, V. (2010)The paper deals with pipe reliability assessment in two networks using the Discriminant Analysis and classification (DAC) method. The pipes of each network are divided in two groups based on whether they failed at least ... -
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 ... -
Results of an urban water distribution network performance evaluation attempt in Greece
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2010)The need for efficient water resources management is currently more pressing than ever, considering population growth and increased reliability requirements, under climate change conditions. On average, one-third of the ... -
River basin management plans developed in Greece, based on the WFD 2000/60/EC guidelines
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2014)The Water Framework Directive 2000/60/EC (WFD) sets an overall framework for water management in Europe. The main instrument for its implementation is the river basin management plan (RBMP) and the accompanying programme ... -
Socially fair domestic water pricing: who is going to pay for the non-revenue water?
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2015)To plan and develop a socially fair water pricing policy is a difficult task to do since many factors need to be taken into consideration. Usually, a significant part of a water tariff structure is the fixed charge that ... -
Three alternative ways to allocate the cost of the CF produced in a water supply and distribution system
Kanakoudis, V. (2015)Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are considered to be the main cause of climate change, globally. On one hand, specific targets regarding these emissions have been already adopted in a European level. These targets include ... -
Urban Water Pipe Networks Management Towards Non-Revenue Water Reduction: Two Case Studies from Greece and Turkey
Kanakoudis, V.; Muhammetoglu, H. (2014)Non-revenue water (NRW) accounts for water, revenues, and energy losses. NRW is a big part of the water input in the water distribution systems worldwide, exceeding even 50% in several cases around the globe. The need for ... -
Urban water services public infrastructure projects: Turning the high level of the NRW into an attractive financing opportunity using the PBSC tool
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2012)Today, the public sector worldwide is facing many difficulties in financing several public infrastructure projects. Therefore, the public-private partnerships (PPPs) became a very popular project-providing-tool. One of the ... -
Using the bimonthly water balance of a non-fully monitored water distribution network with seasonal water demand peaks to define its actual NRW level: the case of Kos town, Greece
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2014)Water losses in pipe networks are usually the biggest 'water use' due to the high leakage occurring. The need for conservative water use is today more pressing than ever due to the stressful climate change conditions, ... -
Water pipe network reliability assessment using the DAC method
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2011)The Discriminant Analysis and Classification (DAC) method has offered remarkable results regarding the prediction of failures in an oil or a gas pipe network, based on the network characteristics. The DAC method also proved ... -
Water Pipe Networks Performance Assessment: Benchmarking Eight Cases Across the EU Mediterranean Basin
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Samaras, P.; Zouboulis, A. I. (2015)The high level of the non-revenue water (NRW: water not generating revenues) is a well-acknowledged problem water utilities are straggling with in areas facing water scarcity. High NRW values jeopardize the sustainability ... -
Water Pipe Networks Performance Assessment: Benchmarking Eight Cases Across the EU Mediterranean Basin (vol 13, pg 939, 2013)
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Samaras, P.; Zouboulis, A. I. (2015) -
WATERLOSS project: developing from theory to practice an integrated approach towards NRW reduction in urban water systems
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Zouboulis, A. I. (2015)Today almost all Mediterranean countries are facing significant water scarcity problems; therefore, water losses in drinking water supply networks have grown to an urgent problem, requiring the implementation of immediate ...
