Risk Assessment of Public Water Supply System
Straková, Eliška ; Večeřa, Milan (referee) ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
This diploma thesis deals with the topic of risk assessment of public water supply systems. In the theoretical part of the thesis, the general theory of risk assessment is elaborated, which is then applied to the field of drinking water supply systems. The risk assessment of water supply systems in the Czech Republic is described in more detail here, including legislative requirements, pitfalls of the process and used methodologies. The methodology and software application WaterRisk were used for the practical part of the work. The risk assessment is done for a selected drinking water supply system, namely the water supply system of the village Boršice u Blatnice. At the end of the work, undesirable conditions with unacceptable risk level are evaluated and appropriate measures are proposed.

Analysis of Water Consumption in Brno
Růžička, Jaroslav ; Kučera, Tomáš (referee) ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
Water consumption is the amount of water removed by the consumer from water disstribution network. During the transportation inside water disstribution network occur losses. Assesing these losses is one of the main responsibillities of the water supplier. We can show the amount of water lost by using several different methods. Values used to describe the amount of water lost can be often replaced by percentual ratio of water produced to water lossed.
Optimisation of pressure condition in water supply systems
Sucháček, Tomáš ; Svoboda,, Miroslav (referee) ; Pollert, Jaroslav (referee) ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
This thesis is focused on the optimization of pressure conditions in the water supply network. There is a deep theoretical and critical search of the state of the art and there are fields where there is an insufficient field of knowledge, the so-called "knowledge gap". Experiments are proposed here to determine the dependence of water consumption on pressure conditions. There is a description of experiments and way how it was carried out, which were carried out on the water connection, in the pressure zone and in the laboratory on the hydraulic loop. There is proposed a methodology of experimental determination of the mathematical dependence of water consumption on pressure so that it can be used for optimization problems, where consumption is considered as an optimization criterion. The results of individual experiments are evaluated and a critical discussion of the achieved results is carried out. Finally, the achieved results are compared with the values found in a deep literature search.
Technical Audit and Risk Assessment of Water Tanks
Tanistrová, Lucie ; Komínek, Jiří (referee) ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
The diploma thesis is primarily focused on risk analysis and risk assessment of drinking water supply systems. In the research, the issues of risk analysis and risk assessment considering world and Czech Republic, were summarized. Software WaterRisk, which was developed by BUT Brno, was used for risk assessment of a particular water supply system in Třebom. Next, the thesis is aimed on technical audit of water tanks. There was a research of technical audit in the world and in the Czech Republic. Also assessment of technical audit of a particular water tank, which had to be anonymized, using software TEAwater is described in detail. Two conditions were considered: before and after reconstruction.

Using Artificial Neural Network Models to Assess Water Quality in Water Distribution Networks
Cuesta Cordoba, Gustavo Andres ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
A water distribution system (WDS) is based in a network of interconnected hydraulic components to transport the water directly to the customers. Water must be treated in a Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to provide safe drinking water to consumers, free from pathogenic and other undesirable organisms. The disinfection is an important aspect in achieving safe drinking water and preventing the spread of waterborne diseases. Chlorine is the most commonly used disinfectant in conventional water treatment processes because of its low cost, its capacity to deactivate bacteria, and because it ensures residual concentrations in WDS to prevent microbiological contamination. Chlorine residual concentration is affected by a phenomenon known as chlorine decay, which means that chlorine reacts with other components along the system and its concentration decrease. Chlorine is measured at the output of the WTP and also in several considered points within the WDS to control the water quality in the system. Simulation and modeling methods help to predict in an effective way the chlorine concentration in the WDS. The purpose of the thesis is to assess chlorine concentration in some strategic points within the WDS by using the historical measured data of some water quality parameters that influence chlorine decay. Recent investigations of the water quality have shown the need of the use of non-linear modeling for chlorine decay prediction. Chlorine decay in a pipeline is a complex phenomenon so it requires techniques that can provide reliable and efficient representation of the complexity of this behavior. Statistical models based on Artificial Neural Networks (ANN) have been found appropriated for the investigation and solution of problems related with non-linearity in the chlorine decay prediction offering advantages over more conventional modeling techniques. In this sense, this thesis uses a specific neural network application to solve the problem of forecasting the residual chlorine

Impact of pressure condition on water consuption in water distribution network
Straňák, Petr ; Sucháček, Tomáš (referee) ; Tuhovčák, Ladislav (advisor)
The diploma thesis deals with effect of pressure conditions in the water supply network on consumption of drinking water. The introductory part describes how pressures affect water consumption and six studies from different countries carried out on real network are presented. Further, the work is devoted to other factors influencing water consumption and distribution of domestic water consumption. The practical part deals with the laboratory measurement of the influence of pressure change on tested discharge fittings for flowing and dripping water. The results are also expressed in annual costs and a method is presented how the effect of pressure change can be quantified if we know the average daily consumption and its distribution.
