Development and Applications of Decision Support System for Water Distribution System

The aim of water distribution system modeling and optimization is to enhance water safety. The decision support system (DSS) consists of water supply system simulation, water demand prediction, optimization and operation status evaluation. In this paper, theories, technical development and application of the DSS are discussed, which include the combination of GIS, SCADA and hydraulic model. Aiming at the economy and safety of water supply, the methods of pump scheme and pipe failure analysis are adopted and the water supply optimization system is developed and put into practical application.
