A total of 608 experimental runs were conducted in a subcritical state, with the inflow discharge and surface water depth varying from 24 L/s to 45 L/s and from 0.022 m to 0.38 m, respectively. To facilitate the application of the unified formula under different clogging scenarios, a parameter termed the clogging decay coefficient was introduced. The relationship between clogging decay coefficient and clogging degree was proposed respectively for the clogging of grate and connection tube. The proposed unified formula has several advantages, including a simple structure, a better accuracy, and without the necessity to select different discharge coefficients.","PeriodicalId":49392,"journal":{"name":"Urban Water Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"564 - 574"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46962740","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study explored the factors influencing pitting corrosion in steel water pipes in South Korea between 1988–2020, using artificial neural networks. Partial dependence plots and variable importance are used to identify the degree of influence of the 12 corrosion-influencing factors. Pipe age had the highest importance and strongest influence on corrosion among the corrosion-influencing factors. Soil resistivity strongly influenced external corrosion, especially at values less than 5,000 Ω-cm, and the influence of sulfide concentration on external corrosion was also relatively strong. Water alkalinity exhibited the strongest influence on internal corrosion. This study will serve as reference data for developing corrosion depth prediction models and will contribute to understanding corrosive environments when laying new pipelines and improving existing ones.","PeriodicalId":49392,"journal":{"name":"Urban Water Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"550 - 563"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48513764","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method utilizes the Induced Ordered Weighted Averaging (IOWA) multi-criteria decision-making technique, incorporating experts' opinions to regulate subjective inferences and ascertain uncertainty. The study considers ten parameters categorized into three main focuses: structural, environmental, and operational to analyze sewer pipe conditions. As a case study, four small zones in Tehran city were prioritized using the proposed methodology. The findings reveal that (1) decision-makers' subjective priorities and evaluations do not significantly influence critical cleaning options, (2) pipe diameter is the most effective parameter for prioritizing since it allows pipes to be meaningfully categorized and compared, and (3) slope, age, depth, upstream manhole condition, and the number of connections and laterals are more important than other parameters. Overall, this study provides valuable insights into developing effective prioritization strategies for sewer cleaning operations.","PeriodicalId":49392,"journal":{"name":"Urban Water Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"521 - 531"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42190106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These principles also find use in water management, offering an alternative against centralized models. Despite the intrinsic links between circularity and resilience, few studies have advanced the identification and discussion of linkage beyond a theoretical or conceptual level. This study presents quantitative links between circularity and resilience, by demonstrating how different circular water management strategies lead to improved resilience performance for a regional urban-rural water system. A stress-testing framework based on a water cycle model is presented, where different circular interventions are evaluated in terms of their overall resilience against future uncertainty. The results demonstrate that circular water options lead to more resilient water systems. The more circular dimensions are addressed through interventions, the more robust resilience profiles become across different water cycle domains.","PeriodicalId":49392,"journal":{"name":"Urban Water Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"532 - 549"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47445923","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on Kanpur city, where half the city depends directly on groundwater resources for meeting their requirements, making the aquifers susceptible to low yield and facing the risk of irreversible over-exploitation in the coming future. Spatial analysis using Geographical Information System (GIS) has been carried out for economic evaluation of the resource by assessing the criticality of groundwater resources. This is further incorporated into a differential pricing structure with an aim to curb over-exploitation. We have also proposed specific pricing strategies that are better suited and easily implementable in Kanpur city.","PeriodicalId":49392,"journal":{"name":"Urban Water Journal","volume":"20 1","pages":"498 - 512"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2023-03-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48134829","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"环境科学与生态学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results indicated that the booster costs increased with the confidence level under both maximum and minimum reliability scenarios. Moreover, the booster costs under maximum reliability are greater than those under minimum reliability. In addition, under minimum reliability the booster costs decreased with the uncertainty level for two cases, while under maximum reliability the booster costs increased or decreased with the uncertainty level, which depends on the variation of nodes with minimum response coefficient.
