Abstract

Having become vital to satisfying basic human needs, water distribution systems (WDSs) are considered critical infrastructure. They are vulnerable to critical events such as extreme weather, natural and man-made disasters, armed conflicts etc. To account for critical events during design and operation of WDSs, the concept of resilience is frequently mentioned. How resilience of WDSs can be assessed using resilience metrics has been the subject of research of many publications. The aim of this paper is to inspect the alignment between a general understanding of resilience in WDSs and the metrics used for their resilience assessment. A novel framework for categorising resilience metrics for WDSs is presented. A literature review of resilience metrics for WDSs is performed and the results are analysed using the developed framework. The results show that the existing resilience metrics are not able to capture resilience in its complexityresilience metrics do not really assess resilience of the WDSs as a whole, but rather focus only on specific functions and properties which can make the WDSs resilient.

配水系统的恢复力指标真的能评估恢复力吗？批判性评论

配水系统对满足人类基本需求至关重要，被视为关键的基础设施。他们很容易受到极端天气、自然灾害和人为灾害、武装冲突等重大事件的影响。为了解释WDS设计和运行期间的重大事件，经常提到韧性的概念。如何使用弹性指标来评估WDS的弹性一直是许多出版物研究的主题。本文的目的是检查对WDS中弹性的一般理解与用于其弹性评估的指标之间的一致性。提出了一种新的WDS弹性度量分类框架。对WDS的弹性指标进行了文献综述，并使用开发的框架对结果进行了分析。结果表明，现有的弹性指标无法在其复杂性中捕捉弹性。弹性指标并没有真正评估WDS的整体弹性，而是只关注能够使WDS具有弹性的特定功能和特性。

期刊介绍： Water Research, along with its open access companion journal Water Research X, serves as a platform for publishing original research papers covering various aspects of the science and technology related to the anthropogenic water cycle, water quality, and its management worldwide. The audience targeted by the journal comprises biologists, chemical engineers, chemists, civil engineers, environmental engineers, limnologists, and microbiologists. The scope of the journal include: •Treatment processes for water and wastewaters (municipal, agricultural, industrial, and on-site treatment), including resource recovery and residuals management; •Urban hydrology including sewer systems, stormwater management, and green infrastructure; •Drinking water treatment and distribution; •Potable and non-potable water reuse; •Sanitation, public health, and risk assessment; •Anaerobic digestion, solid and hazardous waste management, including source characterization and the effects and control of leachates and gaseous emissions; •Contaminants (chemical, microbial, anthropogenic particles such as nanoparticles or microplastics) and related water quality sensing, monitoring, fate, and assessment; •Anthropogenic impacts on inland, tidal, coastal and urban waters, focusing on surface and ground waters, and point and non-point sources of pollution; •Environmental restoration, linked to surface water, groundwater and groundwater remediation; •Analysis of the interfaces between sediments and water, and between water and atmosphere, focusing specifically on anthropogenic impacts; •Mathematical modelling, systems analysis, machine learning, and beneficial use of big data related to the anthropogenic water cycle; •Socio-economic, policy, and regulations studies.
