Abstract

Abstract This research attempts to solve the BBLAWN challenge. The examined town consists of several pressure zones with significant elevation differences, causing accesses water pressure and pipe leakage. The challenge of optimally resizing the water system, to meet future water demands and minimize leakage, was solved using a successive linear programming, minimum cost, optimal operation model that includes head loss constraints, leakage control, pipe diameter selection and pressure reducing valves. A combination of an optimization model and practical engineering experience was used in the positioning of the pressure reducing valves and sizing of pump stations and water tanks.
