Comparative Studies and Research on Optimizing Electric Consumption of Water Supply Systems

Water Supply Systems (WSS) can very well be dubbed as the backbone of every major human settlement for thousands of years at this point as every major human settlement throughout history has, regardless of time period or rural/urban erection or evolution has had its emplacement close to if not dead center over a significant water source that can provide this valuable and desperately needed resource to the populace. Of course, with the passage of time and the ever increasing number of the population and their life style, new techniques and technologies were incorporated within the grand design of the water supply pipeline, mainly automation and operation reliability boosts by means of electricity. It is a given that electrical current is not cheap to produce and maintain, although it is a field of ongoing study and research when it comes to optimizing the energy consumption of any system that runs on this costly resource, both for making the overall operation of the entire system more reliable but also more economical, all the while taking inspiration of multiple specialty works published within this field and, of course, already established local and European Union standards within Romania.
