- Abstract
- The article examines variations in hydraulic processes in urban water supply networks and associated facilities. The findings may inform the design and optimisation of water supply systems and contribute to improved operational efficiency. Hydraulic processes occurring in urban water supply networks over the past three years were analysed, and an algorithm was developed based on the results.
