Re: In recent earthquakes, there has been a loss of public water supply because of a power outage, damage to
water pipelines, and other water facilities. This has caused the loss of water to a community for fire protection
and water to the citizens for drinking, cooking and sanitary
purposes. Delays were caused in restoring service for various reasons from a few days to weeks. The report
provides water utilities with suggestions for an emergency plan and providing a temporary water supply from the
time of the earthquake until service has been restored.(AU).

Re: The 1995 Hyogoken-nanbu (Kobe) earthquake of January 17 caused severe damage to water supply
systems, especially to water pipelines. More than 4,000 incidents of damage to distribution pipes were identified
and their pertinent data recorded in the Hanshin area. A total of 1.2 million
customers was without water for at most 90 days in Kobe city. We investigated damage to water distribution
pipes i the cities of Kobe, Ashiya, Nishinomiya, Takarazuka, Amagasaki and Osaka and the town of Hokudan-
cho on AwajishimaIsland, and analyzed the collected data by using the
Geographical Information System (GIS).. A database was built for damaged pipes, distribution networks,
geological data of the surface layer, degree of liquefaction seismic intensity. This paper describes various modes
of damage to the distribution pipes observed in this earthquake and
causes revealed by this investigation.(AU).

Re: Water supply systems are vitally required for day-to-day existence, for commercial and industrial operations,
and for emergency firefighting. Loss of water supply during earthquakes has led to conflagrations and
catastrophic losses, which would have been avoided give an assured water
supply. Recent experience in the 1994 Northridge and 1995 Hanshin earthquakes have emphasized the concept
that water supply systems will inevitably sustain damage in earthquakes. Although all damage cannot be
avoided, reliable water supplies can be assured, via an optimum design program
involving robust hardware, redundant supplies and networks, real-time control systems, and alternative flexible
emergency response resources. These techniques have been employed in several recent projects, in an effort to
assure reliable water supplies for urban regions. Each case was
unique, but all projects began with identification of existing vulnerabilities and determination of the system's
perfomance criteria. The optimum program for each project varied, but incluided (a) provision of a hardened
"backbone" system, for Contra Costa Water District, (b) design of a
