One or more water demand patterns? - Calibration of the selected water network model

Calibration is one of the key steps in creating a numerical model of water supply networks. Calibration is performed on the basis of the results of the field measurement campaign and it should result in a consistent match of the simulation results with the results of the measurements.

Description
Summary:Calibration is one of the key steps in creating a numerical model of water supply networks. Calibration is performed on the basis of the results of the field measurement campaign and it should result in a consistent match of the simulation results with the results of the measurements. In the article the process and the results of the calibration of the selected water network model with the use a single (generalized) water demand pattern and using 11 patterns prepared for selected, characteristic consumers have been presented. Calibration was performed using the trial and error method in EPANET 2.0 and the optimization method in WaterGEMS.
