Abstract: Water distribution systems (WDSs) are critical infrastructures that need to be resilient to cope with and quickly recover from exceptional conditions in an uncertain and challenging future. To build resilience in the design ...

Abstract: Water distribution network (WDN) resilience depends on both the underlying flow dynamics and the network topology. Although existing literature has examined a variety of complex network centrality and spectral properties, ...

Abstract: Water transfer systems are increasingly seen as a response to regional water stresses. The expensive capital cost of such massive projects calls for satisfying the desired requirements with a minimum investment, ...

Abstract: Urban water system optimization, e.g., chlorine dosage optimization, requires repeatedly running hydraulic and water quality models, which leads to significant computational and time costs for large-scale real networks. ...

Abstract: Optimal operation of hydropower reservoir systems is a classical optimization problem of high dimensionality and stochastic nature. A key challenge lies in improving the interpretability of operation strategies, i.e., the ...

Abstract: The paper presents the results of the Battle of Postdisaster Response and Restoration (BPDRR) presented in a special session at the first International water distribution systems analysis & computing and control in the ...
