Scientific Results

This catalogue is obtained by conducting a systematic literature review of scientific studies and reviews related to monitoring, forecasting, and simulating the inland water cycle. The analysis maps scientific expertise across research groups and classifies findings by the type of inland water studied, application focus, and geographical scope. A gap analysis will identify missing research areas and assess their relevance to policymaking.

A New Product Growth for Model Consumer Durables Management Science 10.1287/mnsc.15.5.215 A growth model for the timing of initial purchase of new products is developed and tested empirically against data for eleven consumer durables. The basic assumption of the model is that the timing of a consumer's initial purchase is related to the number of previous buyers. A behavioral rationale for the model is offered in terms of innovative and imitative behavior. The model yields good predictions of the sales peak and the timing of the peak when applied to historical data. A long-range forecast is developed for the sales of color television sets.

The composition of the pipe material microbial contamination (e.g., sediment, was found to be a major influence on disinfection efficiency. Bacteria grown on galvanized, tubercles, flocculated materials) are not copper, or PVC pipe surfaces were readily inactivated by a 1-mg/L residual of free chlorine or eliminated, deterioration will soon monochloramine.

Accumulation of corrosion products on iron pipes was found to interfere with without extreme effort, high costs, and free chlorine disinfection.

Locating Monitoring Stations in Water Distribution Systems Journal American Water Works Association 10.1002/j.1551-8833.1991.tb07180.x Water undergoes substantial changes in quality between the time it leaves the treatment ities, and distribution system; age, type, plant and the time it reaches the customer’s tap, making it important to select monitoring design, and maintenance of the distribustations that will adequately monitor these changes.

publications-4447 article 1993 Grayman, Walter M. and Grayman, Walter M. and Clark, Robert M. and Clark, Robert M. Using Computer Models to Determine the Effect of Storage on Water Quality Journal American Water Works Association 10.1002/j.1551-8833.1993.tb06026.x Studies have indicated that water quality is degraded as a result of long residence times in storage tanks, highlighting the importance of tank design, location, and operation. Computer models, developed to explain some of the mixing and distribution issues associated with tank operation, were successfully used to predict the effect of tank design and operation on various water quality parameters. But because of the diversity of the effects and the wide range of design and evironmental conditions, general design specifications for tanks are unlikely

Flow trace analysis to access water use Journal American Water Works Association 10.1002/j.1551-8833.1996.tb06487.x Precise information about water use patterns can be gathered by analyzing flow traces obtained from residential customer water meters that are fitted with portable data loggers. Flow traces are precise enough that signatures associated with all major water use categories can be identified. For this study, more than 10,000 water use events were recorded, classified, and entered into a database. The technique is both accurate and reliable and can be used to collect time-specific and disaggregated water use data. Measuring directly instead of inferring measurements from aggregated data is a quick and cost-effective way to analyze water use patterns and directly assess how conservation measures influence water demand.
publications-4449 article 2000 Edmonds, Bruce and Edmonds, Bruce The Use of Models - Making MABS More Informative 10.1007/3-540-44561-7_2 The use of MABS (Multi-Agent Based Simulations) is analysed as the modelling of distributed (usually social) systems using MAS (Multi-Agent Systems) as the model structure. It is argued that rarely is direct modelling of target systems attempted but rather an abstraction of the target systems is modelled and insights gained about the abstraction then applied back to the target systems. The MABS modelling process is divided into six steps: abstraction, design, inference, analysis, interpretation and application. Some types of MABS papers are characterised in terms of the steps they focus on and some criteria for good MABS formulated in terms of the soundness with which the steps are established. Finally some practical proposals that might improve the informativeness of the field are suggested.
