RISComplex Adaptive Systems Framework to Assess Supply-Side and Demand-Side Management for Urban Water Resources
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The availability of water resources in many urbanizing areas is the emergent property of the adaptive interactions among consumers, policy, and the hydrologic cycle. As water availability becomes more stressed, public ...
Using Agent-Based Modeling for Water Resources Planning and Management
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Agent-based systems have been developed for many scientific applications and simulation studies to model a group of actors and their interactions based on behavioral rules. Agent-based models and multiagent systems simulate ...
Methodology for pH Total Maximum Daily Loads: Application to Beech Creek Watershed
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: This paper presents a methodology for developing total maximum daily loads (TMDLs) for pH impaired streams that characterizes the pH impact in terms of an associated hydrogen ion load. Because pH and an equivalent ion load ...
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
Multiobjective Evolutionary Computation Approach for Redesigning Water Distribution Systems to Provide Fire Flows
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: One of the critical public safety roles for water distribution systems (WDS) is suppression of urban fire events. Previous studies have investigated WDS rehabilitation with a major focus on improving reliability by pipe ...
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 ...
Geospatial and Hydraulic Simulation to Design District Metered Areas for Large Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Water distribution systems can be divided into district metered areas (DMAs) to improve their management. DMAs are individual service regions within a distribution system that have a defined set of supply sources, and ...
Multiphase Procedure to Design District Metered Areas for Water Distribution Networks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Dividing a water distribution network into subsystems can improve the efficiency and ease of achieving management goals. Subsystems or district metered areas (DMAs) are isolated control zones with a defined number of ...
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 ...
