Water transmission and distribution systems play a important role to deliver safe and clean water and are
responsible for the most direct impacts of water utilities to customers. Although the performance of
WDS(Water Distribution Systems) should be evaluated by a certain standards, interests has not been in
WDS and developed due to invisible, hard-working and insufficient information in the evaluation process in
Korea till now. The investigations and researches were carried out to develop software to assist the
evaluation of WDS with respects to hydraulics, water quality and structural analysis methods. The
methodologies have been developed which can be used to estimate the performance to water distribution
network and software are implemented by the process. Developed systems are consisted with database,
analysis techniques, simulation models, decision support systems and other tools. The concepts and
functions are introduced in this paper and the performance index is discussed for accurate assessment of
water distribution systems.
