Systems in this section are based on real world distribution systems located in the United States. These networks were created between 1996 and 2001 and are located on the east and west coast. A few of these systems were used in water quality studies and therefore have water quality data.
-
01 CA 1
The CA1 system is based on the Fairfield, CA Distribution system and was originally used by Rossman et al. in 1996 as part of a study into numerical modelling methods. The system has a total demand of 0.62 MGD, one tank, and 11.1 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and gridded by Hoagland et al. (2015).
-
02 PA 1
The PA 1 system is based on the North Penn Water Authority Distribution system in Pennsylvania and was originally used by Clark in 1994 as part of a water quality modelling study. The system has a total demand of 2.7 MGD, two tanks and 99 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and gridded by Hoagland et al. (2015).
-
03 PA 2
The PA 2 system is based on a portion of the Cheshire Distribution system near Harrisburg, PA and was originally developed by Vasconcelos et al. in 1997 as part of a water quality modelling study. The system has a total demand of 1.1 MGD, one reservoir, one pump, and 11.3 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution branch by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).
-
04 WA 1
The WA 1 system is based on the Bellingham, WA distribution system and was originally developed by Vasconcelos et al. in 1997 as part of a water quality modelling study. The system has a total demand of 5.9 MGD, two tanks, and 30.5 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution dense-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).
-
05 NJ 1
The NJ 1 system is based on the Dover Township, NJ Distribution system and was originally used by Maslia et al. in 2000 as part of an epidemiological study. The system has a total demand of 7.7 MGD, eight tanks, 12 pumps, and 483 miles of pipe. It is classified as distribution sparse-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).
-
06 VA 1
The VA 1 system is based on the Blacksburg, VA distribution system and was originally developed by Sherali et al. in 2001 as part of an optimization study. The system has a total demand of 8,500 CMD, one reservoir, and 6.2 km of pipe. It is classified as distribution sparse-grid by Hwang & Lansey (2017) and looped by Hoagland et al. (2015).
