Hydraulic calculations of water distribution systems are currently performed using computer programs. In addition to the basic calculation procedure, modules responsible for evaluating the obtained calculation results are introduced more and more often into the programs. This article presents the results of research on artificial neural networks with a radial base function (RBF) and a multilayer perceptron (MLP), aimed at determining whether they can be used to model the relationship between the variables describing the computational section of the water distribution system and the diameter of the water pipe. The classification capabilities of the RBF and MLP networks were analyzed according to the number of neurons in the hidden layer of the network. A comparative analysis of RBF networks with multilayer perceptron (MLP) networks was performed. The results showed that the MLP networks have much better classification properties and are better suited for the task of assessing the selected diameters of the water pipes.
