North America's water distribution systems are aging and incurring increased pipe breaks.
These breaks pose a serious threat to urban drinking water security, leading to service …

Many water utilities are facing a crisis of aging infrastructure. Aging pipes are deteriorating,
and pipe breaks are increasing. A variety of pipe break prediction models have been …

Abstract Distribution systems throughout North America are deteriorating and pipe breaks
are increasing. To deal with these infrastructure crises, utilities have begun to adopt …

To reduce leakage and improve service levels, water companies are increasingly using
statistical models of pipe failure using infrastructure, weather and environmental data …

Pipe breaks often occur in water distribution networks, imposing great pressure on utility
managers to secure stable water supply. However, pipe breaks are hard to detect by the …

Water supply pipes age, deteriorate and break, which puts at risk the continuous provision of
safe potable water endangering the public health in cities. Risk management methods are …

The deterioration of pipes leading to pipe breaks and leaks in urban water distribution
systems is of concern to water utilities throughout the world. Pipe breaks and leaks may …

The use of statistical models to predict pipe failures has become an important tool for
proactive management of drinking water networks. This targeted review provides an …

The use of statistical methods to discern patterns of historical breakage rates and use them
to predict water main breaks has been widely documented. Particularly challenging is the …

In this paper, we use Bayesian Belief Networks (BBNs) to construct a knowledge model for
pipe breaks in a water zone. To the authors' knowledge, this is the first attempt to model …
