Abstract

The case study points on the water distribution system (WDS) of Buzau City, a medium-sized city in South-Eastern Romania. We built a simplified numerical model of Buzau's main WDS in EPANET, which connects 4 pumping stations to 45 booster stations (end-users) and other users. The model was calibrated upon real-time recordings from 2014. The pumping scheduling is established upon control statements driven by the: discharge pressure of the corresponding pumping station; pressure levels at selected key points in the network (here, one pumping station can be shut down).Energy consumptions were calculated and compared with the current situation.
