The management of water distribution networks in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) was discussed. The study focuses on pipe breaks during the years 1994-1997. Two main tasks were performed for this purpose, first was the development of standard format to collect and classify pipe break data and second was to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of breaks in space and time. The study showed weak positive correlation with precipitation, and no correlation with temperature, influenced the breaks. It is concluded that semiquantitative correlations were useful in scheduling timely substitution of the pipes in water distribution networks.

Abstract
The management of water distribution networks in Emilia-Romagna (Italy) was discussed. The study focuses on pipe breaks during the years 1994-1997. Two main tasks were performed for this purpose, first was the development of standard format to collect and classify pipe break data and second was to determine the spatial and temporal distribution of breaks in space and time. The study showed weak positive correlation with precipitation, and no correlation with temperature, influenced the breaks. It is concluded that semiquantitative correlations were useful in scheduling timely substitution of the pipes in water distribution networks.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
