Abstract: A fully automated data-driven methodology for the detection of pipe bursts and other events that induce similar abnormal pressure/flow variations (e.g., unauthorized consumptions) at the district metered area (DMA) level ...

Abstract: In this paper an original approach to the simulation of floating-on-the-system tanks as decision variables for water distribution system design optimization is presented, aiming to bridge the gap between traditional ...

Abstract: The importance of water distribution network rehabilitation, replacement, and expansion is discussed. The problem of choosing the best possible set of network improvements to make with a limited budget is presented as a ...

Abstract: An original approach to the optimal design of water distribution networks is presented in this paper. Multiobjective optimization is applied, i.e., minimizing costs and maximizing a benefit/quality function, the tradeoff ...

Abstract: Booster disinfection is the addition of disinfectant at some critical locations of a water distribution network such that disinfectant residuals are maintained at a level greater than the minimum for public health. Compared ...

Abstract: It has often been cited that a water distribution system (WDS) hydraulic model needs to be highly accurate before it may be used in combination with a water quality model (WQM) to simulate the dispersion and decay of a ...
