Water distribution system reliability illustrated by the case study of the RWS Dubovac-Zrenjanin-Kikinda

Abstract

Water supply networks have a specific feature that makes them more complicated then many other water management systems. Namely, to make sure that the system performs well, apart from the mechanical characteristics of the system, the hydraulic reliability of its components must also be verified. In this particular case the reliability of the regional water supply system Dubovac-Zrenjanin-Kikinda has been assessed, the system being based on the concept of centralized water supply, in which water is conducted from the different regional sources to the municipal centers, and then distributed to the users.

Vodovodni (distributivni) sistemi imaju jednu specifičnost koja ih, sa gledišta pouzdanosti, čini složenijim od drugih sistema. Da bi sistem uspešno obavljao svoju funkciju pored pouzdanosti mehaničkih karakteristika sistema uzima se u obzir i pouzdanost hidrauličkih parametara sistema. U ovom radu se na primeru regionalnog vodovodnog sistema Dubovac-Zrenjanin-Kikinda koji se bazira na konceptu centralizovanog vodosnabdevanja dovođenjem vode sa regionalnog izvorišta, preko PPV i dalje regionalnim cevovodima distribuira do opštinskih centara razmatra problem određivanja pouzdanosti vodovodnog sistema.
