Graduated the Faculty of Environmental Engineering at the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology with the degree of Master Engineer; worked as a technical engineer in water distribution companies; currently works at MWiK - The Water Supply and Sewerage Company of Bydgoszcz Sp. z o.o., where she designs and modelling water supply networks; main areas of interest: hydraulic modelling of water supply networks; modelling of water consumption; management and dimensioning of water supply networks; water loss; automatic water meter records; Smart Water Networks.
Proper determination of unitary water demand and diurnal distribution of water consumption (water consumption histogram) provides the basis for designing, dimensioning, and all analyses of water supply networks. It is important in the case of mathematical modelling of flows in the water supply network, particularly during the determination of nodal water demands in the context of Extended Period Simulation (EPS). Considering the above, the analysis of hourly water consumption in selected apartment buildings was performed to verify the justification of the application of grouping by means of k-means clustering. The article presents a detailed description of the adopted methodology, as well as the obtained results in the form of synthetic distributions of hourly water consumption, and the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on their change.
