Abstract: The process of urbanization transforms natural landscape into impervious land cover, affecting the ecosystem health of receiving water bodies and downstream communities by changing the timing and volumes of the natural ...

Abstract: The area of systematic identification of contamination sources in water distribution systems is in its infancy and is rapidly growing. The real water distribution network problem poses many challenges that current methods ...

Abstract: Contemporary heuristic search procedures [e.g., evolutionary algorithms (EAs)] continue to offer increased capabilities for systematic search for a range of water resources and environmental management problems. These ...

Abstract: The natural hydrologic flow regime is altered by urbanization, which can be mitigated through best management practices (BMPs) or low impact development (LID). Typically, the effectiveness of different management scenarios ...

Abstract: The modification of land and water resources for human use alters the natural hydrologic flow regime of a downstream receiving body of water. The natural flow regime is essential for sustaining biotic structure and equilibrium ...
