Abstract
Water saving management contract (WSMC) projects provide advanced technology and management for a water supply system to achieve water conservation and set redundant components to ensure water supply reliability. Project managers focus on the reliability optimization problem and require redundancy allocation strategies of the above system. This paper presents an optimization method by dealing with the lifetime of the whole water supply system. Assuming the lifetimes of advanced components are uncertain variables and the old ones are random variables, a reliability optimization model of water supply systems is established based on chance theory, and the redundancy allocation solutions are obtained by an optimization toolkit. A WSMC case in Shenzhen, China is studied and the results show that the reliability of the water supply system has been in a high state based on the allocation strategy. This study provides theoretical support for improving water-saving safety and popularizing the WSMC service mechanism.
