Evaluating risk of water mains failure using a Bayesian belief network model
BBN model to evaluate the risk of failure of metallic water mains. Consider structural integrity, hydraulic capacity, water quality, and consequence factors. Captures probabilistic relationships or dependencies and historical information of variables. Capable of ranking water mains within distribution network. Identify vulnerable and sensitive pipes for maintenance/rehabilitation/replacement (M/R/R).
