Abstract
Description
This output presents implementation results from EPSRC grant (GR/M67360, £108k), “Optimised Pressure Control for Networks with Multiple Pressure Reducing Valves Inputs” and the follow-on EPSRC RAIS grant (GR/S14382). The findings were implemented by South Staffordshire Water Company in 15 district metering areas reducing water losses by 20% (Nigel Shipley, South Staffordshire Water, nigelshipley@south-staffordshire.com). Similar strategies are now being implemented by Yorkshire Water and United Utilities as an aspect of the EPSRC NEPTUNE project (EP/E003192/1, www.neptune.ac.uk/). Follow on paper “Improved Control of Pressure Reducing Valves in Water Distribution Networks” will be published in Journal of Hydraulic Engineering, vol. 134(1) January, 2008.
