Resilience Index Calculation Workbook (ISO 24510-aligned)
The Resilience Index Calculation Workbook is an Excel-based analytical tool designed to quantify the resilience of water distribution networks (WDNs) in accordance with ISO 24510:2021 — 'Activities relating to drinking water and wastewater services — Guidelines for the assessment of resilience'. It operationalizes standardized metrics for resistance, redundancy, resourcefulness, and rapidity to produce a composite Resilience Index (RI) score between 0 and 1.
📖 Overview
📑 Key Components
🎯 Applications
- ✓ Baseline resilience benchmarking for regulatory compliance reporting
- ✓ Prioritizing capital investment in aging infrastructure based on pillar-specific weaknesses
- ✓ Post-event forensic analysis and resilience improvement planning after service disruptions
📐 Key Formulas
Composite Resilience Index (RI)
RI = w_R × R + w_D × D + w_U × U + w_T × T
Weighted arithmetic mean of normalized pillar scores (R=Resistance, D=Redundancy, U=Resourcefulness, T=Rapidity); weights sum to 1 and may be customized per utility context per ISO 24510 Annex B
Normalized Redundancy Score (D)
D = (N_alt / N_req) × (1 − CV_path_length)
Quantifies functional redundancy as ratio of available alternative supply paths to minimum required paths, adjusted for variability in path hydraulic efficiency (coefficient of variation of path lengths)
Rapidity Index (T)
T = 1 − log₁₀(t_restoration / t_threshold) / log₁₀(100)
Logarithmic normalization of measured restoration time (t_restoration) against utility-defined threshold (t_threshold), scaled to [0,1] where 1 indicates sub-threshold recovery
