Applying an integrated methodology toward non-revenue water reduction: the case of Nicosia, Cyprus
(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
(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 impact of dmas and the use of boosters on chlorination in a water distribution network in Greece
(2021)Disinfection is one of the most important water treatment processes as it inactivates pathogens providing safe drinking water to the consumers. A fresh-water distribution network is a complex system where constant monitoring ... -
Assessing the results of a virtual pressure management project applied in Kos Town water distribution network
(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. ... -
Combining pressure management and energy recovery benefits in a water distribution system installing PATs
(2017)Gravity can play a beneficial role in certain water distribution networks (WDNs), although sometimes high nodal pressures occur. Excessive pressure may lead to several negative effects regarding the network's operation and ... -
The joint effect of water price changes and pressure management, at the economic annual real losses level, on the system input volume of a water distribution system
(2015)This study attempts to examine the factors affecting the residential water demand level in the city of Kozani in Greece. Based on an 8-year (2005-12) detailed sample of residential water demand panel data, the values of ... -
Non-revenue water reduction through pressure management in Kozani’s water distribution network: from theory to practice
(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 ... -
Pressure Management and Energy Recovery Capabilities Using PATs
(2016)Hydro-turbines are widely used in small water energy production plants in order to turn water kinetic energy to electricity. PATs (Pumps working As Turbines) are micro-turbines (small sized compared to the usual ones) ... -
Reaching economic leakage level through pressure management
(2016)High non-revenue water (NRW) values as a percentage of system input volume form a serious problem that many water utilities worldwide have to confront nowadays. There are ways to mitigate the effect by adopting strategies ... -
Simulation of a water distribution network with key performance indicators for spatio-temporal analysis and operation of highly stressedwater infrastructure
(2020)An annual and lumped water balance assessment of a water distribution network is recommended by the InternationalWater Association as a first step and prerequisite for improving the performance of the network by minimizing ... -
Urban Water Pipe Networks Management Towards Non-Revenue Water Reduction: Two Case Studies from Greece and Turkey
(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 ...
