ABSTRACT:
Assessing water supply security for urban water supply system (UWSS) planning is
now more challenging with the inclusion of non-traditional sources, which increases
simulation complexity, and the need to account for climate change impacts, which
increases uncertainty. This paper addresses this by developing an integrated
framework for assessing the security of UWSSs with non-traditional sources under
climate change. The framework is applied to a case study based on the southern
Adelaide UWSS. The case study objectives include minimizing cost and
maximizing supply security, with the latter assessed using reliability, maximum
failure duration, maximum vulnerability, and robustness. Robustness represents
the performance of the UWSS across plausible future scenarios, comprising of
realizations of climate change and consumer demand. Trade-offs exist between
cost and supply security for solutions that use desalination and harvested
stormwater to augment water supply; however, use of rainwater tanks is
undesirable, as they are an expensive source
