Advances in Water Supply Management: Proceedings of the Ccwi’03 Conference, London, 15-17 September 2003

The papers presented in this proceedings cover the following subjects: data management; leakage detection and the management of leakage throughout water distribution networks; analysis, design or rehabilitation of distribution networks; network optimisation and network operation; water quality management in distribution systems; effectiveness of water conservation; water economics; water consumption trends and demand forecasts; and specific country experiences with demand management. The papers presented should serve both the research and professional communities dealing with water supply systems in particular, within the context of integrated urban water system as a whole. Prudent implementation of the innovative techniques presented here, such as diagnostics, demand management, uncertainty analysis and transients models as well as more “traditional” ones such as optimisation and network analysis, should lead to more sustainable and cost-effective solutions.
