High Level Panel (4) - Experiences Toward Sustainability

1. High Level Panel (4) - Experiences Toward Sustainability «Sustainable Management of Water Pipelines in terms of Leak Detection, Loss Control and Rehabilitation» Yasin Torun Chairman, TSITT ESC Member, ISTT Governor, World Water Council 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

2. Outline • Introduction • LeakDetection • Loss Control • Rehabilitation • Recommendations Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

3. Introduction Water transmissionanddistribution systems are evaluatedas a crucialinfrastructure system whichis used in delivering potable water to people. Water distribution systems are aging and deteriorating over time. (source: virtualmuseum.ca) Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

4. Introduction Each year, hundredsof kilometers of pipes are rehabilitated aroundthe world. The deterioration of water distribution systems becomes apparentthrough the impaired water quality, loweredhydraulic capacity, high leakage rate and repetitivebreaks.

5. LeakDetection Thereareseveralavailablemethods (acoustic, electromagnetic, vibration, etc.) tomonitoranddetecttheleaks in waterpipelines. However, weshall be awarethatleaksare not reasons; theyareresults. Pressuremanagement is a mustforleakdetection. (source: Bigstock) Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

6. LeakDetection Water pressure management is the use of pressure regulating valves and system monitoring points to achieve more consistent and lower water pressure levels across the water supply network. (source: Emerson) Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

7. Loss Control Basic stepsarelisted as below: • Problem determination, • Measurementwithflowmeter, • SCADA systemapplication, • Creation of DMAs • Pressuremanagement • Active leakdetection • Water reservoirisolation • Renewal of oldwatermeters • Rehabilitation of thepipeline Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

8. Loss Control Creating DMA andinstallingnecessaryequipments (pressure regulating valve, flowmeter, etc.) is a musttocontrolthewaterloss.

9. Rehabilitation In a pipeline system, aging of the pipeline due to a variety of internal and external factors reduces its functionality as a water supply system and increases the risk of pipe failure. Failure of aging pipelines leads to greater social and economic damage. (source: 3M) Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan

10. Rehabilitation Thus, through proper rehabilitation and replacement, the pipeline systems must be managed to ensure safe water quality and structural performance. (source: Uhrig) Yasin Torun, 5th Arab Water Week, 3-5 March 2019 - Jordan
