| Summary: | An EPA-SWMM model was used for the simulation of the intermittent water distribution system (WDS) of a small municipality in southern Italy. The model was compared with field data collected during an experimental campaign carried out in the intermittent WDS. The whole cycle of operation of the WDS was simulated, including the filling, distribution and emptying phases of the intermittent network. The modelling also included water leakages and private tanks that are normally interposed between network pipes and end users. Comparison of model results and experimental observations concerned water levels at the reservoirs and pressures at specific nodes of the WDS during some days of the experiments. |
