Description
Younes Aminpour and coauthors test a 2026 plan for adding freedom to pumped watering networks in Iran without costly pipes rebuilds. Using water-flow mock and a supply freedom index, the team tested limited on-demand running in two rotating drip networks, the gravity-fed Ziviyeh and pump-supplied Lali systems.
Neither network could surely run fully on-demand, meeting minimum hydrant pressure in only 10 and 13 percent of setups, with pressure shortfalls at roughly a quarter of hydrants. Under limited on-demand running, shortfalls fell below 2 percent of hydrants within freedom limits while steadiness held. The approach offers a workable stepping-stone upgrade for water-scarce, cash-strapped systems.
