Using symbolic machine learning to assess and model substance transport and decay in water distribution networks.

ABSTRACT: Drinking water infrastructures are systems of pipes which are generally networked. They play a crucial role in transporting and delivering clean water to people. The water quality analysis refers to the evaluation of the advective diffusion of any substance in drinking water infrastructures from source nodes. Such substances could be a contamination for the system or planned for the disinfection, e.g., chlorine. The water quality analysis is performed by integrating the differential equation in the pipes network domain using the kinetics of the substance decay and the Lagrangian scheme. The kinetics can be formulated using a specific reaction order depending on the substance characteristics. The basis for the integration is the pipes velocity field calculated by means of hydraulic analysis
