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 ... -
Allocating the cost of the carbon footprint produced along a supply chain, among the stakeholders involved
Kanakoudis, V.; Papadopoulou, A. (2014)Greenhouse gas emissions are widely considered nowadays one of the main causes for global climate change. Every product's supply chain consists of several energy usage processes. Three new approaches (end-userpays; production ... -
Applying an integrated methodology toward non-revenue water reduction: the case of Nicosia, Cyprus
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Demetriou, G. (2015)Non-Revenue Water (NRW) is one of the major issues water utilities are facing today, especially in areas with severe water scarcity conditions. The WATERLOSS-DSS, a user friendly decision support system (DSS), was developed ... -
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 performance of urban water networks across the EU Mediterranean area: The paradox of high NRW levels and absence of respective reduction measures
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Samaras, P.; Zouboulis, A. (2013)The aim of this paper is to assess the performance level of water distribution systems (WDS) in six areas located in four Mediterranean countries, and evaluate their common characteristics. The second modification of the ... -
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. ... -
Basic Principles of a DSS Tool Developed to Prioritize NRW Reduction Measures in Water Pipe Networks
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Cerk, M.; Banovec, P.; Samaras, P.; Zouboulis, A. I. (2015)Non-revenue water (NRW) in urban water distribution networks is a very demanding task to handle. NRW impacts are economic (lost revenues), environmental (water and energy losses) and social (inefficient water pricing ... -
Defining the level of the Non-Revenue Water in Kozani, Greece: is it a typical case?
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S.; Kouziakis, C.; Lappos, S. (2015)Water Losses in pipe networks usually represent the biggest "water use" due to the high leakage occurring. Water utilities are forced to apply effective Non-Revenue Water (NRW) reduction strategies, as climate change ... -
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 ... -
Domestic water pricing in Greece: a spatial differentiation
Kanakoudis, V.; Papadopoulou, A.; Tsitsifli, S. (2015)This study investigates the differentiation of the water pricing policies applied by the Greek Municipal Water Utilities (GMWU) in several regions. GMWU are being characterized by individual management framework with a ... -
DOMESTIC WATER PRICING IN GREECE: MEAN NET CONSUMPTION COST VERSUS MEAN PAYABLE AMOUNT
Kanakoudis, V.; Papadopoulou, A.; Tsitsifli, S. (2014)The water utilities in Greece that are responsible for the development of domestic water pricing policies, are municipal enterprises (called DEYA). They are public agencies that are autonomous and have almost identical ... -
Evaluating the performance level of a water distribution network under unbalanced operating conditions - The case of Kos Town (GR)
Kanakoudis, V.; Tsitsifli, S. (2010)The need for a common international terminology is growing the last few years regarding the performance evaluation of urban water distribution systems, due to the wide diversity of definitions used across the word (even ... -
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 ... -
