Operation Philosophy for Water Conveyance / Transmission Systems

Dear All

Please share your views and published literature on the operation philosophy for water distribution / transmission systems.  It could be for both municipal as well as cross country.  What the industry practices around operations.  

I have fair bit of idea on the O & M aspect, but wanted to know more about the operation / control philosophy for pipelines.

Thank you.

Best Regards

1. Noting that these two documents are primarily focused on the management of water quality in distribution systems, nonetheless, they may also contain some relevant information relating to operational philosophies with respect to such systems:  AWWA - Water Quality in Distribution Systems - M68 Water Quality in Distribution Systems (awwa.org); Water Industry Operators Association of Australia (WIOA) - PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE OPERATION AND OPTIMISATION OF DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS - Practical Guide to the Operation and Optimisation of Distribution Systems | WIOA.
