This study details the development of a reconstruction model for reducing water supply risk (WSR)in an existing water distribution network (WDN). This development included additional gate valvesfor reducing the impact of a burst pipe (ImpPB), additional emergency pipes for adjacency block,and pipe replacement to reduce the probability of a burst pipe (ProbPB). The developed model wasapplied to the study area, giving a block WSR in the reconstructed network of 0.471 m3/year, with apossible input budget of about KRW 140 million (4.5% of the maximum cost for reconstruction);1,000 KRW = 0.92 USD = 0.69 EUR, 31 Dec 2012. This constituted a decrease of block WSR by 68.7%compared with that of the existing pipe network. The benefit cost for WSR reduction was defined asshown in Scenarios 1?4 at respective ratios of KRW 40,000/m3, KRW 60,000/m3, KRW 80,000/m3, andKRW 100,000/m3. Results show that higher the benefits of reducing the WSR in existing WDNs, more thechance for WSR reduction. On the other hand, if the benefit cost for WSR reduction is low, this indicatesthat it is not possible to actively reduce WSR. In other words, it is currently difficult to accurately convertthe benefits of reduced WSRs. However, if such problems are solved in the future, it should be possibleto establish more accurate budgets and plans can for minimizing WSR in existing WDNs. |
