| dc.description.abstract | Forcemains are an integral part of sewerage systems. However, they deteriorate, occlude, and become faulty with time. Owners of small lift-stations often cannot afford sophisticated supervisory control and data acquisition systems and are therefore left utilizing naïve pump-down tests to infer the hydraulic resistance of a forcemain. These hydraulic resistance inferences were expected to be erroneous. This study aimed to investigate when a naïve interpretation of hydraulic resistance will lead to erroneous inferences. | en_US |
