This study considered water supply risk (WSR) as well as the cost of a water distribution network(WDN) design, and developed an optimized model of pipe diameters and gate valves within the WDN. Thus, a multipurpose algorithm was used to implement an optimal WDN design that minimizes both WDN establishment costs and the Block WSR. The algorithm adopted was non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II, which has most frequently been used. The optimal model was applied to Block A2, and the results showed that the Block WSR of each pipe after ProbPB was changed to 0.2 (case/km/year) from that of the existing design method. As a result, the Block WSR of the existingnetwork design was 0.306 m3/year, but that of the optimal network design was reduced by 10.1% to0.275 m3/year. The construction cost of the existing network design was 139,600,000 won, but that ofthe optimal network design was reduced by 59.7% to 56,300,000 won. While the construction cost of thenetwork with the optimal design is much lower than that of the network with the existing design, theoptimal design method can also reduce the Block WSR; thus, the optimal design model was proveneffective. In addition, apart from construction costs, the Block WSR reduction effect due to the optimaldesign showed that the daily water cut-off of 8.8 persons/year can be prevented by the conversion of296 L/Lpcd. |
