A holistic reliability system approach of a water distribution network in Saudi Arabia

Saudi Arabia, with no perennial rivers, is considered to be an arid land where water losses in the water distribution network (WDN) supply increase the need for sea water desalination. This paper provides a reliability model to enhance the WDN for a water pumping station in Saudi Arabia. The paper u...

This paper provides a reliability model to enhance the WDN for a water pumping station in Saudi Arabia.
