开发了网络数学模型，并将其用于分析南卡罗来纳州查尔斯顿配水系统的所有部件，以期改进该系统，满足未来的需求。在确定局限性和缺陷后，建议对总管和管道、储存设施、服务泵和增压泵进行经济高效的改进。此外，还利用计算机模型确定了一项改进的运行计划，其中包括一项电源管理计划，预计每年可节省16万美元的能源。这些操作还包括向中央监测站实施遥测网络，以实现关键功能，如储罐储存深度、关键位置的压力、流量、泵运行、增压泵性能和控制阀运行。包括5个参考文献、表格、图表。

The NETWK mathematical model was developed and used to analyze all components of the Charleston, South Carolina water distribution system in anticipation of improving the system to meet future demands. After limitations and deficiencies were identified, cost-effective improvements to mains and pipes, storage facilities, service pumps, and booster pumps were recommended. An improved operations program, which included a power management plan resulting in an estimated energy savings of $160,000 per year, was also determined with the computer model. The operations also included implementation of a telemetering network to a central monitoring station of key functions such as tank storage depths, pressures at critical locations, flows, pump operation, booster pump performance, and control-valve operation. Includes 5 references, tables, figures.
