ABSTRACT

The application of water conservation and leakage prevention at all stages of water delivery to the consumer can provide the rational and efficient use of water resources. The long length of heating and water supply networks, their high degree of wear and tear lead to the appearance of leaks. The paper describes research results on developing the calculating method for detecting underground damage zones in the water supply system pipeline. The basis for this study is the main difference between the regulated water intake for the needs of the water user and the uncontrolled loss of water from a damaged pipeline. The water user takes water from the water supply system in accordance with the designed parameters, and such a water intake will not cause unusual changes in the water pressure in the pipeline. The volume of water lost through pipeline damage will always be proportional to the sharp water pressure change in the pipeline. We developed the mathematical model to substantiate the detecting method of the pipeline damage zone. The model considers the operational characteristics of pipelines to the full extend: head and water flow, the degree of deterioration of water conduit, the geodetic position of water intake points. The mathematical model, confirmed earlier by dozens of independent experiments, made it possible to replace expensive hydraulic experiments and prove the possibility of using the developed method of detecting hidden damages of water conduits by extrapolating the measured piezometric heads. The proposed software system for calculating the underground pipeline damage zone in water supply systems makes it possible to determine the pipeline damage hidden zones based on solving the hydraulic problem for a linear pipeline and studying hydraulic processes. We can use the created optimization model as a proven analog of a physical hydraulic stand in hydraulic studies in the simulation mode.
