“…A possible solution to improve the response time to such problems is the utilization of a Geospatial Information System (GIS) as an enhanced technology in the field of water distribution management. GIS technology can be used for spatial modeling of the urban water network and as an interactive user environment for daily water management tasks [3,4]. Given the spatial nature of the data used and generated in GIS, it can be used to effectively enhance water resource modeling.…”

The purpose of this paper is to model one of the urban network problems, the issue of water leakage. In order to manage water leakage, the specific area should be partially isolated from the rest of the network. As Geospatial Information System (GIS) is a powerful technology in spatial modeling, analysis and visualization of the water network management, a web GIS system for finding optimal valves to close in the event of an incident was developed. The system consists of a new GIS based algorithm for identifying the ideal valves to isolate the desired pipeline. The algorithm is able to identify optimum valves in a water distribution network in the shortest time by using the traceability in GIS web services. The system uses the functions of storing and managing the spatial data by expert users based on web 2.0 technology. The system was implemented and evaluated for Tehran’s district 5 water distribution network using Silverlight, C# and ArcGIS SDK (Software Development Kit). The evaluations demonstrated the accuracy of the algorithm and the operational viability of the system developed.

Landslides and their disastrous consequences on the environment and human life have emphasized the need for a better understanding of the dangers associated with slope movement. The objective of this research was to assess and utilize mapping methods for predicting the hazards of landslides and thus to limit the damage of these phenomena more effectively. In the current investigation, multi-hazard mapping was employed in evaluating the risk of slope movements for the municipality of Bensekrane in Tlemcen in Algeria. There has been no hazard assessment made for the study area although it has factors responsible for triggering landslides. The standard Farès method (arithmetic and probabilistic) was employed, and the results were compared with those obtained from the modified Farès technique (arithmetic and probabilistic), which was developed based on a synthesis or combination of previous approaches. In the modified Farès technique, dynamic factors were also included, such as seismic activity, vegetation cover and groundwater level, and, thus, it was considered more reliable. However, the choice of method depended mainly on the availability of data from the study area. The maps obtained showed that the study area is susceptible to slope movements and will be employed for land use planning. The maps obtained by the arithmetic modified Farès method were different from those obtained by the arithmetic Farès method. The former presented a large part of the surface (88%) with an average hazard, unlike the latter, which presented the largest surface (66%) and a low hazard. The maps generated by the probabilistic modified Farès method showed a surface with a high hazard, unlike that obtained by the probabilistic Farès method, where a high hazard did not exist. These differences between the maps were due to the addition of dynamic factors. It is better to choose the modified Farès method, which takes into account all the factors that exist in reality. In this study, enhanced spatial, natural hazard maps were created using the modified Farès method to better aid decision makers and builders in making correct choices for increased safety and town planning. It is crucial to be able to utilize reliable maps based on multi-hazard risk assessment for land development purposes to lessen the possibility of destructive landslides. The modified Farès method can be applied to any other comparable areas around the world.
