A water distribution network (WDN) should
accommodate the abnormal conditions caused by
failures. These types of failures can be classified
into two groups; mechanical failures and hydraulic
failures. Mechanical failure is caused due to
malfunctioning of the network elements such as pipe
breakage. Hydraulic failure, on the
other hand, considers system failure due to
distributed flow and pressure head which are
inadequate at one or more demand points. This study
deals with the calculation of the hydraulic system
reliability of an existing WDN. A case study was
carried out on a part...
