This study investigates the patterns that describe reliability of
water distribution networks focusing to the node connectivity,
energy balance, and economics of construction, operation and
maintenance. A number of measures to evaluate the network
resilience has been developed and assessed to arrive at more
accurate diagnostics of regular and irregular demand scenarios.
These measures have been proposed as a part of the methodology for
snap-shot assessment of network reliability based on its
configuration and hydraulic performance. Practical outcome of the
research is the decision support tool for reliability-based design
of water distribution networks. This computer package named NEDRA
(NEtwork Design and Reliability Assessment) consists of the modules
for network generation, filtering, initialisation, optimisation,
diagnostics and cost calculation, which can be used for sensitivity
analyses of single network layout or assessments of multiple
layouts. The study concludes that none of the analysed aspects
develops clear singular patterns. Nevertheless, the proposed
network buffer index (NBI) and the hydraulic reliability diagram
(HRD) as visual representation of the network resilience give
sufficient snap-shot pointing the composition of the index value,
and displaying possible weak points in the network that can be
hidden behind the averaged values of various reliability measures.
