ABSTRACT

122 This work attends to water distribution network calibration and data collection process. The hydraulic model calibration process adapts it to the current situation. There are more theoretical parameters that are consistent with reality system. The purpose of calibration operation includes the following items: increased reliability model, opportunity to predict the future state of the system, obtain accurate results than the current situation, and the discovery of previously unknown problems in the system. For this purposes, the models must constantly be calibrated according to the changes made. For this purpose, the phase correction model is used. The network analysis and computing include theoretical parameters conformity with reality. It also includes the amount and direction of the input and output streams. This work shows the changes of maximum flow rate and pressure drop in the pipes by hydraulic model comparison with the flow rate and pressure drop related to the control valves operation in the system. The results were compared with any future changes in the network calibration.
