Sažetak
Mathematical modeling of the water supply system provides quick and effective insight into the real hydraulic operating conditions regarding flow and pressure. Some models offer the possibility of real-time water loss modeling, defining water losses in terms of pressure change. Therefore, instead of considering leakage as a constant value within the certain nodes, the leakage flows were expressed as an emitter flow in terms of pressure. In this way, the opportunity was made to monitor leakage changes in real time in relation to pressure changes within the system. This provides the possibility to get an insight into real values of water loss reduction after implementation of recommended optimization measures. This paper describes the application of mathematical modeling for water loss analysis, by considering leakage as an emitter flow. The proposed methodology is analyzed on an actual example.
