Smart water network management with in-pipe leak detection robots
… designs to implement smarter, more autonomous water distribution networks (WDNs) and also improved the robots which will travel within the WDN's pipes to better differentiate pipe leaks from bumps in the pipes. Starting from the unit of the in-pipe leak detection robot, I investigated ways to …

The effects of an intermittent piped water network and storage practices on household water quality in Tamale, Ghana
… number of people without access to "improved" water sources, which include piped water supply. However, an "improved" source of water does not necessarily indicate a safe source. The city of Tamale in northern Ghana has a piped water network that supplies treated water, but the system is …

Molecular basis of cargo sorting by endosomal trafficking machinery
… dileucine motif but also a previously unresolved water network mediating the reaction. This water network structurally explains the preferential endocytosis of a subset of cargo. Furthermore, the same water network is coordinated differently by the AP-3 complex to increase its affinity to the same …

Submergence as emergence : expanding social waterscapes in a shrinking city
… forms of contact and connectivity across urban water systems. Framing water as a mode of gathering, this project connects myriad urban realities, peoples, and practices. Alternative forms of linkages provide users an opportunity to disrupt systems of power and inequities that have worked to …

An analysis of water pricing and consumption variations within the occupied West Bank
International disputes over access to water resources can act as a catalyst for conflict or cooperation amongst nations. In the case of Israel and the occupied West Bank, water conflict further exacerbates preexisting political tension, and yet a peaceful and equitable solution between these …

Non-intrusive water utility monitoring and free-space load monitoring
… single-point sensing scheme to monitor the water usage for various loads on a water utility pipe network through the vibration of a pipe near the water intake source. Experiments with the water utility sensor provided data sufficient to identify individual loads on the water distribution …

A river remembered - reconnecting to landscape, memory and place-making through water routes
… context, rivers functioned not only as a vital water resource but also as navigational corridors that cut through the Cederberg's complex mountain range. These were water routes that supported human patterns of movement and gathering whilst simultaneously connecting far reaches of the …

Watering the slums : how a utility and its street-level bureaucrats connected the poor in Bangalore
This dissertation is about how urban water utilities behave and what makes them interested in serving the poor. The infrastructure literature tends to treat public service agencies as monolithic entities and to ignore the great diversity of tasks and behavior patterns within them. As a consequence, …

Bursts identification in water distribution systems
… the identification of burst locations in water distribution systems (WDS) by analysis of field and simulation experimental data. This required the development of a new hybrid method of burst detection and sizing, and also a burst location identification algorithm. Generally, existing …
