Abstract

Many expanding cities in developing countries suffer from insufficient technical infrastructures. Water supply is considered with priority to improve environmental conditions. The greater part of any cost of urban water supply is due to distribution. Network rehabilitation aims at flow and pressure improvements, leakage and quality control, systems design. With scarce finances, limited trained personnel, with climate, customs and traditions different from foreign standards systems analysis becomes a mandatory tool. Whereas various simulation models are available, few methods of network optimization exist capable to treat large systems. Hence, an optimization program will be presented suited to
