The document discusses various methods for analyzing water distribution networks, including demand-driven and pressure-driven analysis methods. It highlights the issues faced in demand-driven analysis, such as pressure drops and flow delivery challenges. The author suggests future work on developing a GUI program to compare different pressure-driven analysis methods.

3. Demand Driven Analysis
Theory
Each demand node (DN) takes the
required demand (Qreq)
Then the available pressure (Havl) will
be calculated

5. Problem of Demand Driven Analysis
In Some cases required flow (demand) couldn’t be delivered in each DN
These cases are:
1- Fire Fighting demand
2- Excess use in some DN
3- Pipe failure, pump failure, valve failure…..etc.

Negative pressure will be arise

6. Pressure Driven Analysis
Developed to address issues of negative pressure estimated by
demand-driven analysis (DDA) solver
Theory:
In each DN
According to the available pressure
The available flow will be calculated
Like the Emitter (sprinkler)

10. Problem Statement
Many Pressure Driven Analysis methods were discussed
since 1981
Till now NO available software (Paid or Free) deal with
PDA with different methods

to compare between the different methods of PDA.
