已确定基本分销业务的优先事项，如 保持足够的消防流量、储存容量、管道和附件的物理完整性， 管理水龄、保持美观的水质和法规遵从性（即。 消毒副产品、消毒剂残留、微生物发生和腐蚀控制）。 然而，综合这些信息以及大量与配电系统相关的研究 开展类似安全用水（PSW）的配水自我评估和优化伙伴关系的研究 基于广泛有用、易于测量的标准的改进计划是 研究项目的目标和挑战，AwwaRF 4109“优化 分销系统。" 制定自我评估标准的基础是来自不同学科的输入 为关键优化标准和指标提供意见的问题专家。 会议的目标 该项目旨在制定关键绩效优化标准和自我评估指南，以 帮助公用事业公司识别并解决限制配电系统性能的因素。经过文献综述、问卷调查和专家访谈，共有19个专题领域 成立了工作组，包括148名参与者，讨论22个主题。 工作组的参与者包括与项目一起工作的各种公用事业专业人员 专家顾问。向每个工作组提供背景材料（文献综述， AWWA G200和调查结果）来帮助启动他们的讨论。每个工作组 负责评估特定的标准，这些标准可以在其职责范围内轻松测量和评估 分销系统。包括表格、数字。

Fundamental distribution operations priorities have been identified, such as maintaining adequate fire flows, storage capacity, physical integrity of pipes and appurtenances, managing water age, maintaining aesthetic water quality, and regulatory compliance (i.e. disinfection byproducts, disinfectant residuals, microbial occurrence, and corrosion control). However, synthesizing this information along with numerous distribution system related research studies to develop a Partnership for Safe Water (PSW)-like distribution self-assessment optimization and improvement program built upon on widely useful, easily measurable criteria is both the objective and the challenge of the research project, AwwaRF 4109 "Criteria for Optimized Distribution Systems." The basis for the development of the self-evaluation criteria was input from various subject matter experts who provided input on key optimization criteria and metrics. The goal of the project is to develop critical performance optimization criteria and self-assessment guidance to help utilities identify and address factors limiting distribution system performance. Following a literature review, questionnaire and expert interviews, a total of 19 Topic Area Workgroups were formed, including 148 participants to address 22 topics. Workgroup participants included a variety of utility professionals working along with project expert advisors. Each workgroup was provided with the background materials (literature review, AWWA G200 and survey results) to help jump start their discussions. Each workgroup was charged to assess specific criteria that could be readily measured and evaluated within their distribution systems. Includes tables, figures.
