Abstract: This paper shows how pipe replacements and control valve installations can be optimized in water distribution networks to reduce leakage, under minimum nodal pressure constraints. To this end, a hybrid multiobjective ...

Abstract: This paper shows the extent to which the application of real-time control techniques can help in reducing the flows discharged from quality oriented combined sewer overflow (CSO) devices in sewer systems. To this end, a ...

Abstract: The various hydraulic and environmental problems related to the accumulation of solids have recently drawn increasingly attention to deposits in the management of sewer systems. Among the mechanical and hydraulic devices ...

Abstract: The traditional optimization approach for water distribution mains is that of considering a single design scenario with prefixed nodal demands representing the peak values at the end of the life cycle of the construction. ...

Abstract: This paper reports the results of a numerical investigation aimed at assessing the effectiveness of the real-time control (RTC) of valves in reducing leakage in water supply networks. The investigation was carried out ...

Abstract: As is well known, water systems grow gradually over long periods of time, and the life of piping tends to be much longer than the planning horizon used for pipe sizing. Furthermore, the uncertainty about future demands ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel methodology for the generation of demand time series at water distribution network (WDN) users. After subdividing the day into an integer number of time steps with order of magnitude of 1 h, ...
