Ayala Cabrera, David(Universitat Politècnica de València, 2015-12-29)
[EN] Over time, due to multiple operational and maintenance activities, the networks of water supply systems (WSSs) undergo interventions, modifications or even are closed. In many cases, these activities are not properly ...
This work addresses the problem of water network division into
district metered areas by the use of clustering respect to multiple views. In our
application will use two data perspectives: one of these will be associated ...

[EN] Biofilm develops in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) as layers
of microorganisms bound by an organic matrix and attached to pipe walls. The
presence of substantial and active attached biomass can lead to ...
[EN] Water Supply Systems (WSS) are extremely complex assets. Suitable knowledge of their components and the changes
they undergo are necessary to control and productively manage these systems. Currently, non-destructive ...

[EN] Various studies have been performed in relation to the influence that a number of characteristics of drinking
water distribution systems (DWDSs) have on biofilm development. Nevertheless, their joint influence,
apart ...
Alonso Guzmán, Carlos Daniel; Izquierdo Sebastián, Joaquín; Pérez García, Rafael; Herrera Fernández, Antonio Manuel(Elsevier, 2013)
[EN] The methodology that has been developed suggests a sequence of interventions in the water distribution network, identifying the hierarchy of groups of pipes that must be renewed, taking into consideration all the ...
Francés-Chust, Jorge; Montalvo Arango, Idel; Izquierdo Sebastián, Joaquín; Herrera Fernández, Antonio Manuel(International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), 2017-07-05)
[EN] Metering is an essential activity in Water Distribution Systems. Not only the
utility revenue clearly is proportional to the metered values, but also the evaluation of the
performance of the network relies on it. Both ...
In this paper a combination of the multi-agent paradigm and a very well known clustering technique
is used for unsupervised classification of subsoil characteristics working on a collection of ground
penetrating radar ...
[EN] This paper addresses the problem of leakage in water distribution systems through the use of ground penetrating radar (GPR) as a nondestructive method. Laboratory tests are performed to extract features of water leakage ...
In many real-world applications we have at our disposal a limited number of inputs in a theoretical database with full information, and another part of experimental data with incomplete knowledge for some of their features. ...
