Performance Analysis of the Water Distribution System of the City of Messina Through Sustainability Indices

7 pagesPublished: September 20, 2018

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to assess the performance of the water distribution system (WDS) of the city of Messina (Italy) under different management scenarios that can be operated by the local water utility, AMAM S.p.A. To this end, a methodology is here applied for determining sustainability indices for pressure in WDS. The sustainability indices are based upon performance criteria including reliability, resiliency and vulnerability. In particular, six different scenarios are analyzed and the results are compared in order to identify possible solutions to increase sustainability in WDS.

Keyphrases: Reliability, Resiliency, sustainability index, Vulnerability, water distribution system
