Abstract: Contamination source identification involves the characterization of the contaminant source based on observations that stream from a set of sensors in a water distribution system (WDS). The streaming data can be processed ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Leakages in water distribution networks (WDNs) are estimated to globally cost 39  billion USD/year and cause water and revenue losses, infrastructure degradation, and other cascading effects. Their impacts can be prevented ...

Abstract: Many engineering and environmental problems that involve the determination of unknown system characteristics from observation data can be categorized as inverse problems. A common approach undertaken to solve such problems ...

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 ...

Abstract: Use of generic search algorithms for detection of subsurface biological activity zones (BAZ) is investigated through a series of hypothetical numerical biostimulation experiments. Continuous injection of dissolved oxygen ...
