Abstract
During more than twenty years, survey of water supply systems in the cities of Donbass was conducted. The aim of the study was to develop a strategy for managing this sector, which allows for precise monitoring of water consumption and reducing water loss. In the course of the research, water consumption metering was carried out using counters, the operation of the devices was assessed taking into account the accuracy class and installation features. It is established that the actual value of water consumption is below the standard. The water consumption decreases with an increase in the percentage of installation of water meters and with an increase in the number of tenants in an apartment. The need to bring the general house and intra-apartment meters to the same accuracy class and regulate the installation position of the water meter was identified. Based on the optimization of conditions, the program management of water supply systems by means of zoning territories and the installation of ’’clever’’ meters was proposed. Approbation of the water supply management strategy allowed within the project to reduce water losses by 20% and use the technological reserve for the modernization of the water supply system.
Highlights
The water supply systems of cities on the specific character of functioning and designation relate to the complex technical systems of queueing
The contemporary engineering methods of creation and operating such systems are based on the active attraction of the quantitative methods of analysis and synthesis of their reliability
The only way of evaluating the possibility of the appearance of such events is collection and processing the statistical evidence about the work of the operational systems. This information makes it possible to establish the numerical authenticity of the appearance of the random events, which can lead to the disturbance of the normal functioning of separate elements
