Abstract: Mathematical models are formulated to develop management guidelines for an integrated wastewater reuse plan involving the use of reclaimed wastewater to irrigate summer crops. A linear‐programming allocation model is used ...

Abstract: The spillway design flood is a function of social, moral, economic, and technological restrictions. Given the significant initial cost of a spillway and the very high cost of dam failure and downstream damages, the economic ...

Abstract: A mixed integer linear optimization model for river basin development for irrigation is presented. The model is a chance‐constrained optimization model that considers the interactions between design and operation parameters ...

Abstract: Flood diversion during dam construction has a major influence on the construction period, and its cost represents a significant part of the total project cost. In general, selection of diversion system capacity and the ...

Abstract: Subcontractors have a significant role in the construction industry. Through involvement at different levels, subcontractors may undertake up to 90% of the total value of large construction projects. Due to the lack of ...

Abstract: Deriving optimal reservoir operation rules in a selective withdrawal framework (SWF) considering quality and quantity objectives is a challenging problem due to its computational burdens. To overcome the computational ...

Abstract: A cyclic storage (CS) system is defined as physically-integrated and operationally interconnected surface water and groundwater subsystems with full direct interactions between the subsystems. The proposed definition treats ...

Abstract: A cyclic storage (CS) system is an extension to standard conjunctive use (SCU) of surface water (SW) and groundwater (GW) in which the SW bodies and GW aquifer(s) are treated as physically interconnected and operationally ...

Abstract: An optimization model is presented for determining the optimal design capacities of a water delivery system integrating small hydropower plants. A discrete distance model of the transmission pipeline is solved by employing ...

Abstract: A methodology based on solving a large-scale nonlinear programming problem is presented for the optimal design and operation of pumping stations. Optimum design and operation refers to the selection of pump type, capacity, ...
