Over the last three decades, the increasing development of smart water meter trials and the
rise of demand management has fostered the collection of water demand data at …

In the context of household water demand generation with high time resolution (down to 1 s),
two different categories of models have been proposed, aimed at representing …

A water demand end-use model was developed to predict water demand patterns with a
small time scale (1 s) and small spatial scale (residence level). The end-use model is based …

In the water industry, an accurate estimation of end-use water consumption is helpful for the
implementation of efficient water systems and water-saving technologies. This study aimed …

Biofilms in drinking water distribution systems (DWDS) could exacerbate the persistence
and associated risks of pathogenic Legionella pneumophila (L. pneumophila), thus raising …

Proper determination of unitary water demand and diurnal distribution of water consumption
(water consumption histogram) provides the basis for designing, dimensioning, and all …

A new method is presented for detecting the magnitude of leaks in small residential service
zones (under 1,000 homes) of a drinking water distribution system. It is assumed that …

Variations in water fixtures and appliances coupled with different routines and preferences
of users result in high levels of variability in residential water consumption. This study …

Residential water demand is one of the most difficult parameters to determine when
modeling drinking water distribution networks. It has been proven to be a stochastic process …

A stochastic approach for modeling and analysing the transients due to the users' water
consumptions in a real water distribution system is presented. The analysis is based on field …
