This study focuses on Fortaleza, the largest metropolis in Brazil's semi-arid region. Due to recurrent droughts, massive infrastructure like high-density reservoir networks, inter-municipal and interstate water transfer systems, and a seawater desalination plant have been implemented to ensure the city's water security. To evaluate the quantitative and qualitative impact of introducing these diverse water sources into Fortaleza's water supply macrosystem, adequate calibration of the operating and demand parameters is required. In this study, the macrosystem was calibrated using the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) method based on hourly data from 50 pressure head monitoring points and 40 flow rate monitoring points over two typical operational days. The calibration process involved adjusting the operational rules of typical valves in large-scale Water Distribution Systems (WDS). After parameterization, the calibration presented the following results: R2 of 88% for pressure head and 96% for flow rate, with average relative errors of 13% for the pressure head and flow rate. In addition, with NSE values above 0.80 after calibration for the flow rate and pressure head, the PSO method suggests a significant improvement in the simulation model's performance. These results offer a methodology for calibrating real WDS to simulate various water injection scenarios in the Fortaleza macrosystem. (AU) | |
