| Title: Implementation of zone management and DMA for water distribution networks in Shanghai | |
| Abstract: In 2015, “Water Pollution Prevention and Control Action Plan” was released by the State Council, also known as “Water Ten Plan”, which set out the outline and long-term goal for water loss control. Since then, the implementation of zone management has been regarded as a key solution for reducing water losses and non-revenue water in distribution networks. Zone management is the mainstream management of water distribution networks. It is necessary to put this concept throughout the whole process including network planning, design, construction, maintenance and operation. Water supply branch office is in cooperation with National Engineering Research Center of Urban Water Resources (NERC), working on technical application researches and engineering demonstration projects, in order to promote leakage control management in the demonstration areas with innovative technologies and its subsequent application to other areas in Shanghai. | |
| Biography: Dr. Shihu Shu received his PhD degree in municipal engineering at Harbin Institute of Technology in 2009 with research experince at Center for Water System, University of Exeter. In 2011, he completed his 2-year postdoctoral research at Tongji University. Dr. Shu is currently working at the National Engineering Research for Urban Water Resource, with years of experience focused on development of innovative technologies for drinking water safety assurance and water-related informatics researches. His primary areas of expertise include development and application of technologies for water distribution systems, simulation and optimization of water distribution systems based on uncertainties, risk analysis and management. Besides, Dr. Shu is a member of IWA China Water Loss Task Force, and has made great contributions to water loss control management. Since 2004, Dr. Shu has took the lead in conducting a number of scientific researches and projects including the National Science Foundation of China, the National Water Project, the National 863 Project, the National Key Science and Technology Support Project, the British Royal Society Foundation Sino-British Cooperation Project, the Shanghai Postdoctoral Science Foundation, the Shanghai Science and Technology Commission Expo key research program, and other kinds of projects collaborating with government sectors, universities and enterprises. Dr. Shu has published more than 40 papers on research journals, most of them were indexed in SCI, EI compendex. In 2012, Dr. Shu was selected for “Shanghai Young Science-Technology Star Talents Program” and then was awarded with “Shanghai Excellent Academic (Technology) Leader” in 2015. | |
