Location and Setting of Valves in Water Distribution Networks Using a Harmony Search Approach
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In this paper, pressure management through pressure-reducing valves (PRVs) is discussed with particular reference to metaheuristic optimization techniques, which have proven to be very effective in producing good results ...
Discussion of “Simple Guide for Design of Air Vessels for Water Hammer Protection of Pumping Lines” by D. Stephenson
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Pollution Reduction in Receivers: Storm-Water Tanks
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Urban runoff discharges in receiving water are a significant source of pollution. Storm-water tanks are one of the most effective facilities used for reducing the impact of first-flush pollution. Nevertheless, because the ...
DEM-Based Approaches for the Delineation of Flood-Prone Areas in an Ungauged Basin in Africa
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: In the present work, the flood hazard exposure in an ungauged basin in Africa is assessed exploiting the basin morphological characteristics. Flood-prone areas are identified using linear binary classifiers based on several ...
Identification of Influential User Locations for Smart Meter Installation to Reconstruct the Urban Demand Pattern
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: This paper aims to show how the total demand signal (i.e., the sum of all user demands) of a district metered area (DMA) can be reconstructed using simple linear models starting from the readings taken at influential ...
