Achieving consistency in pair-wise comparisons between decision elements given by experts or stakeholders is of paramount importance in decision-making based on the AHP methodology. Several alternatives to improve consistency ...
[EN] We introduce a methodology based on spectral measurements of graph theory to establish the relative importance of areas in water supply networks (WSNs). To achieve an efficient vulnerability analysis, we have made a ...

[EN] One of the main challenges of drinking water utilities is to ensure high quality supply, in particular, in chemical and microbiological terms. However, biofilms invariably develop in all drinking water distribution ...

[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] 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 ...

[ES] Uno de los principales objetivos de las empresas encargadas de la gestión de los sistemas de
distribución de agua potable (DWDSs, del inglés Drinking Water Distribution Systems) es asegurar una

[EN] The presence of regulated quantities of residual disinfectant is a usual feature
in water supply systems (WSSs); nevertheless, biofilm formation persists in all
of them, representing a paradigm in WSSs management ...
Biofilm develops in drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs) as complex microorganism communities covered
by an extracellular polysaccharide which provides them structure, protection against disinfectants and helps ...
[EN] Biofilm development in water supply systems (WSSs) depends on infrastructure and operational factors, apart from water quality. We have developed a methodology that considers WSSs hydraulic (operation) and physical ...
