Abstract
 Developing a Water Pipe Management System in Seoul Track: Water, Wastewater, and Stormwater Author(s): Chulmin Jun, Chong-Moon Kim, Byoung-Woon Lee, Hwa-Yong Yoon Water main bursts in Seoul, Korea, are one of the most frequent problems and the major reason for this is the inefficiency in design and management of the network. The study developed a system that allows the user to evaluate the level of deterioration and to design alternative water mains for simulation. The study suggested an evaluation scheme that models mains failure based on different variables such as pipe age, diameter, ground elevation, and pipe material. Also, the user can interact with the system to create virtual pipelines that link the user-provided origin and destination points considering the efficiency in regional supply, distance, road network and construction costs. A shortest path algorithm called Dijkstra was used for the pipeline simulation. The data was constructed using the GIS based on the residential blocks that are defined by supply region, water demand and road network.
