The purpose of the present study is to introduce a newly developed capacity increment
(also pressure sensitivity reduction) technique in the case of drinking water distribution
systems (WDS). The main novelty of this method is based on a correlation between two
parameters of the water distribution network – one characterises its robustness in
a topology-specific way, the other can be calculated with only one hydraulic simulation.
With the help of connection the topology optimisation – the identification of the
optimal place for installing a new pipe – can be determined within a short processing
time, and without the implementation of a stochastic optimiser algorithm. The first
part of the paper presents problems caused by high pressure sensitivity and introduces
the mathematical background of the method, besides which it discusses the details
of the algorithm. After that, the second part presents the results gained by the implementation
of the method in two case studies: real-life water distribution systems of a small
and a medium-sized town. For the small town, verification is possible by comparing
the result of our method with the total hydraulic evaluation of the WDS.
