ANALYSIS AND VULNERABILITY OF WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS FOR POTENTIAL POLLUTION PHENOMENA CONTROL
PhD Project (ENG only)
The research project falls within the theme of intersectoral safety for disaster risks reduction and resilience, whose goal is to define effective methods and strategies for assessing, managing and improving safety and resilience. The water distribution system (WDS) safety and resilience are strictly related to its qualitative and quantitative vulnerability, which depends on the conditions of the network, the environment in which it is located and its topology.
The aim of the research project is to create an integrated nonlinear simulation/optimization model which firstly assesses the vulnerability of an existing distribution network, and then defines which interventions are the best to be implemented in order to reduce its vulnerability.
