TLDR
The single-port Thevenin theorem used in electrical circuits is applied to reduce a large WDN with its equivalent network consisting of a single source and a single pipe, and the equivalent network is then attached to a sub-network for focused analysis.Abstract:
An existing water distribution network (WDN) may need to be expanded by adding a sub-network for the newly developed areas. The size of the problem becomes larger when the stochastic nature of dome...read more

The use of electric network analyzers for pipe network analysis
Rob Stephenson,J. R. Eaton +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the determination of fluid-flow and pressure drop in complicated pipe networks such as gas or water distribution systems presents many problems similar to those encountered by the electrical engineer in the study of transmission and distribution networks.

Simplification of water distribution networks using non-linear Thevenin theorem and its application for maximum power transfer
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology is proposed to replace an existing large pipe network with its equivalent network consisting of a single source and a single pipe by applying the non-linear Thevenin theorem being used for electrical circuits.

Applications of Electrical Simulators for Analyzing Hydraulic Pipe Networks
TL;DR: In this article , the authors used the analogy between electrical and hydraulic networks, hydraulic elements such as pipes, meters, valves, and pumps are modeled in Verilog-A. An electrical freeware called QucsStudio is chosen for implementing the hydraulic networks.

Reduction of Multi‐Port Water Distribution Networks Using the Generalized Thevenin Theorem
TL;DR: In this article , a new network reduction methodology is developed for multi-port connections utilizing the analogy between electrical circuits and hydraulic networks, and an equivalent simple network is obtained by suitably applying the generalized Thevenin theorem for electrical circuits.

Global forecasts of urban expansion to 2030 and direct impacts on biodiversity and carbon pools
TL;DR: S spatially explicit probabilistic forecasts of global urban land-cover change are developed and the direct impacts on biodiversity hotspots and tropical carbon biomass are explored to minimize global biodiversity and vegetation carbon losses.
Global Forecasts of Urban Expansion to 2030 and Direct Impacts on Biodiversity and Carbon Pools
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors develop spatially explicit probabilistic forecasts of global urban land-cover change and explore the direct impacts on biodiversity hotspots and tropical carbon biomass, showing that urban land cover change threatens biodiversity and affects ecosystem productivity through loss of habitat, biomass, and carbon storage.

Looped water distribution networks design using a resilience index based heuristic approach
TL;DR: In this paper, a technique based upon the original definition of a "resilience" index to account for the fact that water distribution networks are designed as "looped systems" in order to increase the hydraulic reliability and the availability of water during pipe failures is introduced.
