Valve management plays a critical role in water distribution system operations. The ability to open or close valves is the primary method for isolating sections of the network during maintenance or emergencies, directly affecting users. However, traditional manual methods face significant challenges, such as locating valves accurately, determining their operational status, identifying which valves need to be closed during a failure, and assessing the impact on users. These limitations make it difficult to manage valve operations efficiently, prompting the need for computerized solutions. Computer-based valve management systems offer a more effective approach. One common method involves creating a valve database and integrating it with an MIS (Management Information System). Using standard database tools like FoxPro or Oracle, this system allows for data storage and basic queries. However, it lacks graphical interfaces and advanced analysis capabilities. To address these issues, GIS (Geographic Information Systems) has become a powerful tool. It combines spatial and attribute data, enabling users to perform bidirectional searches—querying from a map or entering data to locate specific valves. This integration enhances usability and provides a clearer visual representation of the network. In Shenzhen, the Water Supply Company implemented a GIS-based valve management system. The system includes over 8,000 pipelines, 3,000 major users, and detailed valve information. The development process involved several key steps: first, collecting and digitizing original data, including 1:10,000 scale maps and precise valve placements. Then, establishing databases for valves, pipelines, and users using FoxPro format. Next, creating accurate topological maps using AutoMap software, ensuring correct node and pipeline connections. Finally, linking the graphical data with the database to enable two-way queries and burst pipe analysis. A critical component of the system is the burst pipe analysis module. This function allows users to select a failure point on the map, and the system automatically calculates which valves should be closed, identifies affected pipes and users, and displays the results visually. The module includes subroutines for initialization, failure point selection, valve closure strategy calculation, data querying, report generation, printing, resetting, and finalization. By leveraging AutoLISP and AutoMap’s topology functions, the system improves response time and accuracy during emergencies, making valve management more efficient and user-friendly.

Shoulder Muscle Training

There are many ways to use fitness equipment for shoulder exercises.Enhance muscle strength, improve joint flexibility, or increase muscle volumeThe movements for exercising the shoulders are as follows:

Action 1: Lie on your side and lean on a stool, holding a small dumbbell in each hand. At the beginning of the action, lift the dumbbell upwards. This movement mainly trains the posterior deltoid muscle.

Action 2: Inverted Butterfly Machine. Generally, butterfly shaped machines are only used to clamp the chest, while such reverse butterfly shaped machines can train the shoulder, back, and rhomboid muscles. The same weight should not be too large, otherwise the trapezius muscle will also work.

Action 3: Dumbbell side lift. Side lift is the most common shoulder movement. It is important to remind everyone not to lift the dumbbell too high during the process, as it may also affect the trapezius muscle.

Action 4: Use a gantry to perform a lateral rope lift, alternating hands on the rope to lift it up. One thing that is better than dumbbell barbells in training is that it can keep muscles full of tension.
