Dynamic Simulation of Water Networks to Control and Reduce Physical Unaccounted-for Water

Dynamic Simulation of Water Networks to Control and Reduce Physical Unaccounted-for Water

A significant percentage of unaccounted-for water consists of leakage in water distribution networks in Iran. To detect leakage area with less costs and time spending and then identify the exact  place of it with special instruments, would be economical and a better water resource management. In thi...
