System for controlled distribution of non-demand-covering water availability: concept, design and modelling

This paper presents a novel water supply system to distribute limited water resources with varying quantity. The system enables a controlled, planned and, thus, fair distribution of the water availability independently from the consumption patterns. The system input is transported by gravitation thr...
