Abstract
This document is intended to be a presentation of the Special Issue “Advanced Hydroinformatic Techniques for the Simulation and Analysis of Water Supply and Distribution Systems”. The final aim of this Special Issue is to propose a suitable framework supporting insightful hydraulic mechanisms to aid the decision-making processes of water utility managers and practitioners. Its 18 peer-reviewed articles present as varied topics as: water distribution system design, optimization of network performance assessment, monitoring and diagnosis of pressure pipe systems, optimal water quality management, and modelling and forecasting water demand. Overall, these articles explore new research avenues on urban hydraulics and hydroinformatics, showing to be of great value for both Academia and those water utility stakeholders.
Highlights
One of the most complex structures that an intelligent city has to manage is its water distribution system (WDS), which must provide water to citizens in adequate quantity and quality
The results show that the mobilisation of discolouration material is mainly determined by hydraulic forces, and can be modelled and predicted, and its origin can be approximately determined
In addition to the complexity inherent to WDS management, there often is a need for online actions to accomplish decision-making processes in real time
Summary
One of the most complex structures that an intelligent city has to manage is its water distribution system (WDS), which must provide water to citizens in adequate quantity and quality. In this regard, special attention should be given to the achievement of an adequate digital connection related to the availability of data in real time, which allows effective solutions for demand prediction and other water utilities operations. Water 2018, 10, 440 economic benefit and social satisfaction, among others, must be an inescapable condition for ruling a WDS To achieve these objectives, efficient techniques are necessary to overcome the complexity of the associated problems. The idea is to promote the implementation of the smart city concept from the perspective of water supply
