English Abstract
The reduction and control of water loss is becoming even more vital in this age of increasing demand and changing weather patterns that bring droughts to a considerable number of locations in the world.
The key to developing a leakage strategy for any network is first to ask some questions about the network and how it is operated, and then select the right tools to find the solutions.
Network modeling is the tool to give the required answers.
The use of distribution network models for leakage control and monitoring of different upgradation or rehabilitation plans for the network with an intermittent supply is a challenging task.
In order to develop technical and future strategies for monitoring equity in water distribution as well as identifying and controlling the losses of water network system, district metering principal is suggested to be implemented to achieve the target goals.
Objective of this paper, therefore, is to present a technique of leakage monitoring for intermittent water system.
It requires the installation of flowmeters at strategic points throughout the distribution system, each meter recording the flows into a discrete area with a defined and permanent boundary.
Such an area is called a district meter area (DMA).
It also unfolds various characteristics of the intermittent hydraulic model that has been developed to simulate the real time conditions in the distribution system and calibration procedures adapted using specialized software.
The approach has been discussed in details along with its application and a case study of Gaza city water network.
