Complex Adaptive Systems Framework to Simulate the Performance of Hydrant Flushing Rules and Broadcasts during a Water Distribution System Contamination Event
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Real-Time Guidance for Hydrant Flushing Using Sensor-Hydrant Decision Trees
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: A utility may detect contaminant in a water distribution network through water quality sensor information, which indicates that a biological pathogen or chemical contaminant is present in the network. A utility manager ...
Parallel Evolutionary Algorithm for Designing Water Distribution Networks to Minimize Background Leakage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Leaks in water distribution systems waste energy and water resources, increase damage to infrastructure, and may allow contamination of potable water. This research develops an evolutionary algorithm-based approach to ...
Cyberattack Detection Using Deep Generative Models with Variational Inference
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Recent years have witnessed a rise in the frequency and intensity of cyberattacks targeted at critical infrastructure systems. This study designs a versatile, data-driven cyberattack detection platform for infrastructure ...
Streaming Smart Meter Data Integration to Enable Dynamic Demand Assignment for Real-Time Hydraulic Simulation
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water distribution system models have long been widely used for design and planning purposes. Their application for supporting real-time operational decisions has been also gaining increasing interest over the past decade. ...
Parallel Evolutionary Algorithm for Designing Water Distribution Networks to Minimize Background Leakage
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Leaks in water distribution systems waste energy and water resources, increase damage to infrastructure, and may allow contamination of potable water. This research develops an evolutionary algorithm-based approach to ...
Effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Water Utility Operations and Vulnerability
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The COVID-19 pandemic affected the operation of water utilities across the world. In the context of utilities, new protocols were needed to ensure that employees can work safely, and that water service is not interrupted. ...
Battle of the Water Networks II
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The Battle of the Water Networks II (BWN-II) is the latest of a series of competitions related to the design and operation of water distribution systems (WDSs) undertaken within the Water Distribution Systems Analysis ...
