- Managing Water Systems and Services

This paper presents the results of work undertaken to develop and test contrasting data analysis approaches for the detection of bursts/leaks and other anomalies within wate r supply systems at district meter area (DMA)level. This was conducted for Yorkshire Water (YW) sample data sets from the Harrogate and Dales (H&D), Yorkshire, United Kingdom water supply network as part of Project NEPTUNE EP/E003192/1 ). A data analysissystem based on Kalman filtering and statistical approach has been developed. The system has been applied to the analysis of flow and pressure data. The system was proved for one dataset case and have shown the ability to detect anomalies in flow and pres sure patterns, by correlating with other information. It will be shown that the Kalman/statistical approach is a promising approach at detecting subtle changes and higher frequency features, it has the potential to identify precursor features and smaller l eaks and hence could be useful for monitoring the development of leaks, prior to a large volume burst event.

Hemopoietic Organs

The study of the growth of blood cells and hemopoietic organs of claravia catfish ( Clarias gariepius ) grown in the closed loop water systems on the basis of "RANTOP AGRO-5" LLC in the Krasnodar region. Test materials (prolarvae and larvae aged 5, 10, 15, 20 and 25 days of active feeding) were selected in the spring-summer period of 2013-2014. Prolarvae in mesenchyma of forming mesonephros which begins to develop after hatching had primordial precursor cell and blast blood cells between forming vesicles. There took place differentiation of erythropoietic cells: erythroblasts, pronormoblasts and basophilic normoblasts. Accumulation of hemoglobin in erythrocytes indicates that since the first day of hatching, the blood starts to perform transport function - transportation of oxygen. The rudiment of thymus was observed in larvae aged 10 days. This organ generated lymphocytepoietic cells. The central hemopoietic organ - spleen - was originally registered as a mesenchymal rudiment at the age of 10 days. At the age of 25 days, development of the organ stroma is not finished in clarid catfish larvae. Reticular tissues develop actively. Separate lymphoid clumps in the spleen structure have not been found. Melano-macrofagic centres are also unformed. Qualitative analysis of haemopoiesis showed that in spleen there take place development of all types of blood cells: erythropoiesis, granulopoiesis and agranulopoiesis.

Abstract The analysis of present-day crucians’ settlements in water systems of Eastern Ukraine designated the predominance of the digeneous Goldfish, C. auratus, in the region, the number of which made 78.7 %, from the total number of the examined representatives of the genus. The second group consists of gynogenetic Prussian carps, C. gibelio (14.3 %); it is represented by the clone biotype and recombinant individuals. Crucian carp, C. carassius (3.6 %), turned out to be rare and its number did not exceed the number of the caught hybrids C. auratus × C. carassius (3.4 %). The retrospective analysis of literature data and museum collections gave an opportunity to describe the changes in species composition of the genus which took place during the last 150 years. Within this period the crucian carp, which used to be the single and most common representative of genus Carassius (Jarocki, 1822) in the region, became nearly an extinct species. In the meanwhile the representatives of the group of species of Prussian carps, C. auratus + C. gibelio, which appeared in the region in the late 1960s, rapidly increased their number and became the most numerous fish of the Eastern Ukraine. The discovered tendency is not unique for the researched region; in general it reflects the European tendency for the crucian species. The reasons for that are rivers’ regulation and destruction of bottomland ecosystems. The secondary factors for the elimination of C. carassius are the competitive relations of individuals representing both species and easy hybridization, during which the more numerous species C. auratus absorbs the rare C. carassius.
