Abstract: Actual projections provided by climate models suggest that the probability of occurrence of intense rainfall will increase in a future climate due to increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases. Considering that the ...

Abstract: Combined sewer overflows (CSOs) have major impacts on receiving waters. It is important to investigate the potential impacts of climate change on CSOs. The main objective of this study was to develop projections on the ...

Abstract: A global predictive real-time control strategy minimizing overflow volumes from combined sewers during rainfalls is presented. For an optimal use of controlled sewer transport and storage capacities, the proposed strategy ...

Abstract: Municipal water infrastructure systems are in poor condition and are deteriorating rapidly. A general diagnosis of the actual structural state of these systems is needed, as are tools to assess their rate of deterioration. ...

Abstract: A planning strategy is presented that aims at establishing the optimal replacement schedule for a water distribution network. Two performance indicators are defined. The first accounts for structural state (total cost ...

Abstract: This paper addresses the issue of contaminated water evacuation as part of the response process in cases of intentional or accidental contamination of drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). Following a previous study ...

Abstract: This paper introduces a simple topological approach to systematize the isolation of contaminated areas within the pressure zones of drinking water distribution systems (DWDSs). Assuming optimal location of contaminant ...
