TY - RPRT U1 - Forschungsbericht A1 - Rebolledo, Margarita A1 - Chandrasekaran, Sowmya A1 - Bartz-Beielstein, Thomas T1 - Technical Report: Flushing Strategies in Drinking Water Systems N2 - Drinking water supply and distribution systems are critical infrastructure that has to be well maintained for the safety of the public. One important tool in the maintenance of water distribution systems (WDS) is flushing. Flushing is a process carried out in a periodic fashion to clean sediments and other contaminants in the water pipes. Given the different topographies, water composition and supply demand between WDS no single flushing strategy is suitable for all of them. In this report a non-exhaustive overview of optimization methods for flushing in WDS is given. Implementation of optimization methods for the flushing procedure and the flushing planing are presented. Suggestions are given as a possible option to optimise existing flushing planing frameworks.
