The paper proposes a methodology that estimates the overall reliability of water distribution system based on the aggregated utilities gained from the water service. The utility of water distribution system has been calculated based on the level of service received by a consumer from available water volume, pressure and water quality. A measure of the overall reliability is estimated after weighting, fuzzification and then aggregation of these utilities. Three kinds of aggregation based modelling are developed in conjunction in order to verify the output results and validate the current approach.

Abstract

The paper proposes a methodology that estimates the overall reliability of water distribution system based on the aggregated utilities gained from the water service. The utility of water distribution system has been calculated based on the level of service received by a consumer from available water volume, pressure and water quality. A measure of the overall reliability is estimated after weighting, fuzzification and then aggregation of these utilities. Three kinds of aggregation based modelling are developed in conjunction in order to verify the output results and validate the current approach.
