An Essential Understanding of Water Pipe Assets Repair, Replacement, and Rehabilitation

Author(s) Tanay Kulkarni
Country United States
Abstract Water distribution networks (WDNs) are vital infrastructures that ensure reliable access to safe drinking water, supporting urban, rural, and industrial needs. However, aging pipelines, increasing populations, resource constraints, and climate variability have heightened the challenges of maintaining these systems. Issues such as frequent pipe failures, rising operational costs, and escalating non-revenue water (NRW) underscore the urgent need for strategic interventions. This paper addresses the ambiguities surrounding repair, replacement, and rehabilitation by providing explicit definitions and evaluating their distinct benefits and constraints. A conceptual framework is proposed to guide decision-makers in selecting cost-effective, sustainable pipeline management strategies, balancing technical, economic, regulatory, and environmental considerations. By offering a structured approach to managing WDNs, this research aims to improve operational efficiency, extend infrastructure longevity, and reduce NRW. The findings are applicable across diverse contexts, benefiting developed nations with aging systems and emerging economies expanding their water networks. The study’s insights empower policymakers, utility managers, and planners in optimizing resource allocation and enhancing the resilience of water distribution systems.
