The tier definitions are transposed to the service territory. In addition, a distinction is made as to whether the network is a transport network or a distribution network. A transport network is usually a long and superordinate pipeline that carries the water from one point (origin) to a transfer structure. It should be noted here that these can also be so-called gravity flow lines.
The functional differentiation of the water lines will be implemented at a later date. For this purpose, further information can be found in Functions of Water Lines.
TierGroup |
Tier(s) |
Description |
|---|---|---|
WAT_Transmission |
WAT_TransmissionPressureZone |
A transport network is usually under pressure. In various cases, they may also be gravity flow lines. |
WAT_Distribution |
WAT_DistributionPressureZone |
Distribution network, usually in the settlement area and divided by pressure zones. |
Tier definition Water
Since currently only one tier per TierGroup is defined in the Water Solution, a simplified table representation is used for the allocation to the subnetworks.
