Summary
Computer models of water distribution systems (WDS) contain information on demands. The water consumption is usually measured for quite long periods of time (e.g. months, weeks) and gives information only on the long-time average base demand. The dynamics of these demands are obtained on the basis of typical dynamics for different types of consumer. Calculations show that differences between real-time and typical demands can influence the results of calibration. Some algorithms are proposed to minimize this influence. Special software has been developed for estimation of real-time water demands in a WDS. Algorithms and software have been checked on an operational WDS.
