Abstract: As society looks to provide the most effective identification of possible intrusion events, issues of sensor placement in water distribution systems are drawing increased attention. A multiple objective optimization problem ...

Abstract: A contaminant source identification (CSI) methodology for water distribution systems is intended to identify possible events (i.e., intrusion nodes, times, duration, and mass rate). The methodology has to be both rapid and ...

Abstract: Work‐terms implicit in co‐operative engineering programs lengthen the academic program but are shown to have a noticeable, positive effect on professional development. The work‐terms are shown to help the students understand ...

Abstract: Calibration is a process of comparing model results with field data and making the appropriate adjustments so that both results agree. Calibration methods can involve formal optimization methods or manual methods in which ...
