  Background: The sustainability indexes in water distribution systems were measured for pressure junction and pipeline velocity based upon performance criteria (reliability, resilience, and vulnerability Methods: The values of pressure and water velocity are used to determine these criteria, which Performances Sustainability Index (PSI) for pipeline velocity and PSI for pressure. The estimated PSI value evaluates the overall sustainability score for the entire zone in the water distribution network. Results: This PSI was based upon performance for both pressure and velocity in the distribution systems by estimating its reliability, resilience, and vulnerability indicators through the systems. Therefore, the simulated hydraulic performance in the extended state was 19.6% high, 34.7% low, and 45.7% normal pressure jun.. Read More»
