Effects of Weather on Leakage and Bursts

This project identifies the critical weather factors that can cause an adverse impact on leakage and pipe breaks, quantifies the weather metrics and their impacts, and identifies early warning weather indicators. The project deliverables include a set of models explaining weather and break/leakage relationships that can be used with forecast weather data to support water utility leakage management. The models are available on this project page under Project Resources/Web Tools. Research partner: UKWIR. Published in 2014.
