Reliability assessment of water distribution network by means of informational entropy using design/hydraulic parameters

Reliability assessment of water distribution network by means of informational entropy using design/hydraulic parameters

A modified entropy-based criterion for evaluating reliability of water distribution networks is presented in the paper. Design and hydraulic parameters, as well as failure probabilities for individual links, are considered. For this purpose, a new weighting factor is defined based on the proportion...
