Abstract:
In this paper, the mathematical modeling of a water supply system in rural areas is carried out. The modeling of the drinking water supply system was done using the EPANET programming software, which performs hydraulic and water quality simulations in the pipeline networks. The calculation of technological consumption and water losses is made by each operator providing the public water supply and sewerage service taking into account the water quality at source, the water treatment and purification technologies, the materials from which the public supply networks the duration of public water supply networks, the length of public water transport networks, the length of public water distribution networks, the level of water consumption metering, hydrogeological conditions, etc. As a result of the analysis and interpretation of the results, it has been shown that with a calibrated and very well monitored water supply system (pressures and flows) the areas where the hidden damages or even theft of the water in the network can be easily determined. In this situation, they can take very rapid intervention.
