Introduction to the challenge
Problems were encountered in the existing drinking water network in Wortegem-Petegem. The network of the Elsegem sub-region is highly vulnerable to upstream disruptions. Therefore, a proposal was made to relocate the main supply, but the implications of this intervention were difficult to assess. Furthermore, the industrial park includes a large consumer who is responsible for short, high peaks that cause pressure peaks in the network. That is why an operational drinking water model was developed for the area. Such a model allows on the one hand to verify the sensitivity of the system and on the other hand to simulate different scenarios and proposed solutions.

Step-by-step modelling:
Our solution
Optimal scenario for future water supply
The verified model provides insight into the hydraulic behaviour of the network and allows potential bottlenecks to be located. The output consisted of pressure maps and maps with the simulated load losses per pipeline. To this end, simulations were run based on both average and peak demand situations. The same pressure maps were created for the different scenarios and compared to the existing situation in order to obtain an optimal scenario for the future water supply in the area.
