Water Distribution Infrastructure Model

This data includes the source code for a simulation model of urban water distribution infrastructure system developed to integrate the institutional agencies’ renewal decision-making processes with physical components in order to simulate the transformations and capture the dynamics of water distribution infrastructure under external stressors such as population change and funding fluctuations. Using the developed simulation model, various experiments can be designed to measure the long-term resilience based on the visual detection of regime shifts and identification of the threshold values (i.e., tipping points) associated with infrastructure performance regimes.
